Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge has been dealing with health issues. DeLonge recently spoke between a couple of tracks at a Blink-182 show about battling a nasty bug which led to a couple of shows being canceled last week. He hasn’t recovered quite yet, but he was still able to put on a show with a 24-track setlist, powering through the show. Fans revealed that Tom was constantly blowing his nose and spraying his throat with numbing spray.
