Is there trouble brewing between Blink-182‘s Tom DeLonge and his longtime replacement Matt Skiba?
As you know, last year Blink frontman Mark Hoppus revealed to the world he had been diagnosed with cancer. At the time, the sad news brought the band’s original lineup — Mark, Tom, and drummer Travis Barker — back together.

But regardless of opinions, the much-anticipated return of Tom got everyone wondering where this leaves Matt. Notably, the Alkaline Trio rocker said to fans earlier this year in July when asked about his membership in the band:

And with his silence since Tuesday’s big reveal — well, it’s just not looking like things are cool between them, is it?
On Thursday, however, Tom posted a letter to Instagram thanking Matt “personally” for his work in the band. The caption of the post read:
