Tom DeLonge , who played guitar , had been friends with Ann Hoppus while living in San Diego .
DeVoe phoned Hoppus and Barker the following day to tell them that DeLonge had quit the band , stating : `` As of today , Tom DeLonge is no longer a member of Blink-182 . '' DeLonge subsequently changed his telephone number to avoid discussing the matter with Hoppus and Barker .
