One eagle-eyed pub-goer spotted the artist near the back of the room and filmed his reaction to a fan murdering his hit track.
But can you guess who it is?
It’s none other than Blink-182 rocker Tom DeLonge, 49.

Tom was seen nodding along to the fan’s rendition, before busting out laughing as the person on the mic fell to the floor.
The superfan performed their very out of tune version of the band’s hit song All The Small Things.
Tom appeared to be keeping a low profile wearing a cap back to front and sitting far away from the stage floor.
The TikTok user captioned the clip: “She had no idea the guy who wrote that song was sitting right there.
“I told her and her friends and they lost their minds.”
Fans could not believe their eyes either.

One wrote: “I’m in love with Tom Delonge. I would pass away if he saw me like this.”
A second said “He’s at her show watching, waiting, commiserating.”
A third posted: “I love how he laughed at the WAITING that came from the depths of hell lmfao.”
This person commented: “She had NO idea he was at her show.”
Another added: “I wonder if she found out after and if she wanted to disappear like I would have if I did this lmao.”
Blink-182 consisted of Tom, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker.
The trio of stars are still making music together to this day, but for a brief time, Tom was absent, and now fans want to know why he left.
Tom’s exit from Blink-182 made headlines in 2015, but it was not until 2019 that the star spoke out.
At the time, he told To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science, a company he co-founded in 2015, that he left the band to help “change the world for my kids.”
“The last show I played was in front of 100,000 people,” he recalled in the interview.
“And then they wonder why I’m not doing that now and I’ll say because this is the one moment in my life where I’ll be able to look back as an old man and say, ‘Oh my god, I was a part of the team that changed the world.’”
He went on to add that his goal to “change the path that humanity is on” was another reason he decided to leave.
“I wanted to make a quick message to let you know that, from the heart, I left my band and all that I was known for because this is the moment in time where I can change the world for my kids and everybody else’s,” he said.
“I would love for you to consider doing that with us.”
Tom previously left the band in 2005 to form Angels & Airwaves after the group went on an indefinite hiatus.
What did the band say about his exit?
Fans were not happy with Tom after he announced his split, and neither were his bandmates.
In an interview with Rolling Stone in 2015, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker discussed the split with their “disrespectful and ungrateful” bandmate and revealed that he had backed out of upcoming commitments, which also included recording a new album.
“We booked January 5th to go into the studio. On December 30th, we get an e-mail from Tom’s manager saying that he has no interest in recording and that he wants to do his other, non-musical stuff and that he’s out indefinitely,” Hoppus recalled at the time.
“There’s a flurry of e-mails going back and forth for clarification about the recording and the show and his manager sends [an e-mail] back saying, ‘Tom. Is. Out.’ Direct quote. This is the exact same e-mail we got back in 2004 when Tom went on indefinite hiatus before.”
Barker added: “I think he’s just bummed because Mark and I were finally honest. We always covered up for him before… It’s hard to cover for someone who’s disrespectful and ungrateful.
“You don’t even have the balls to call your bandmates and tell them you’re not going to record or do anything Blink-related. You have your manager do it. Everyone should know what the story is with him and it’s been years with it.”
Despite the bad blood between the former bandmates, DeLonge and Hoppus were “able to completely repair” their friendship as the years went on.
“The way the universe works is strange because I reached out to Mark because I needed him to sign this piece of paper that had to do with my divorce,” DeLonge said in a 2021 interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.
“Only because of that call did I learn he had cancer. And he told me on the phone. I was like, ‘Wait, what?”
He added: “We weren’t really talking much at all, maybe once every couple of months, a little text here and there. But now, we talk multiple times a day.
“We’ve been able to completely repair that friendship and really cut to the depth of who we are as people and what this is all about.”
Is Tom DeLonge back in Blink-182?
Travis and Mark continued to make music without Tom for years, but fans often wondered if he would ever make a return.
That question was later answered in October 2022, when it was revealed that he had rejoined the band.
“Tom DeLonge has rejoined blink-182 and they are coming to the United Center,” Troy Hanson, the Vice President of Rock Programming at Cumulus Media, said on the Q101‘s Brian, Ali & Justin Podcast.
“Live Nation that’s my gift to you for doing this whole thing in late October with Panic! At The Disco. I just blew your nut on Blink-182. Sorry not sorry.”
