Original: 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.
Simplified: Tom DeLonge, who played guitar, had been friends with Ann Hoppus while living in San Diego.
