Knight has a history of legal troubles and violence that includes multiple involvements in shootings and probation violations, most notably when he was driving the car in which Tupac Shakur was fatally shot.
Tom DeLonge leaves Blink-182
Say it ain’t so! The pop-punk trio, Blink-182, will be without guitarist and co-vocalist, Tom DeLonge, for its upcoming headlining festival and the foreseeable future. There was initial confusion when DeLonge denied the announcement by band members, Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus, that said DeLonge had left the band indefinitely. It was soon made clear that DeLonge would no longer be a part of Blink-182 when Hoppus and Barker blasted DeLonge in a Rolling Stone interview, calling him “ungrateful” and “disrespectful.”
DeLonge is busy promoting new music for his other band, Angels & Airwaves, and will be replaced by Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio.
