Tom DeLonge has claimed that aliens do exist and that his phone has been tapped while he tried to expose a government cover-up.

"I've been involved in this for a long time. I have sources from the government. I've had my phone tapped. I've done a lot of weird stuff in this industry - people wouldn't believe me if I told them," the Blink-182 guitarist told Paper magazine.

Talking about the start of his quest to uncover extraterrestrial life, DeLonge says: "At the time I didn't know it, but the person I was dealing with was being awoken in the middle of the night with clicking and buzzing noises and falling on the ground vomiting, every morning at 4 am.

"I know now that those are artifacts from mind-control experiments, where the same technology that we use to find oil underground, we can zap somebody at the same frequency that the brain operates on, and it can cause some really horrific things to happen," he added.

DeLonge recently said that the disintegration of Blink-182 was because of "squabbling and politics" between band memebers.
