The Green Day singer is going into rehab for substance abuse.
Green Day has been serving the punk rock scene for many years now, but it seems that things might be going slightly wrong for Billie Joe Armstrong. The lead singer and guitarist went into rehab over the weekend to be treated for substance abuse, having been hospitalised earlier in the month for dehydration, forcing the cancelation of a concert in Italy. Further promotional appearances have also had to be postponed.
This follows Armstrong’s foul-mouthed tirade at the iHeartRadio festival on Friday. Angered at their set being cut short to make more time, Armstrong smashed his guitar on stage, having yelled “I’m not fucking Justin Bieber”. He followed that by asserting “We’ll be back”, before walking off stage. Despite all this, the public have been assured that Armstrong will be appearing on the US version of The Voice, helping Christina Aguilera’s acts.
The two albums yet to be released from Green day’s epic three-record production, ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré!, are set to come out on 12th November and 14th January. The band will also be playing at the emirates Stadium on 1st June as part of their huge UK tour next year. Tickets will be on sale at the end of this month.
