Quote:
As the two remaining members confirmed they would continue to play, with a stand-in singer, DeLonge separately claimed he hadn't left the band at all. In a long letter posted online – that is, to the public not to the other two personally because that's how bands in crisis, like political parties in crisis behave – he said the claim and counter-claims "makes me really sad".
This has led to some speculation that the release of the two snippets might be some payback for the way the other two announced his supposed departure. Or maybe just a sign that he will still make music, even if it's not with the other two.

The end of DeLonge's letter reads:
Quote:
“…At the end of the day, all of this makes me really sad.
Sad for us.
Sad for you that you’re witnessing this immaturity.
I know them very well, and their current actions are defensive and divisive.
I suppose they’re doing this as a way to protect themselves from being hurt.
Like we all do.
And even as I watch them act so different to what I know of them to be, I still care deeply for them. Like brothers, and like old friends. But our relationship got poisoned yesterday.
Never planned on quitting, just find it hard… to commit.”
