Green Day Postpone 2013 Tour Dates

After Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong entered rehab last September for substance abuse, the band has decided to cancel all their tour dates for the rest of this year. The shows scheduled for January and February have been postponed to a later date. All tickets purchased for these upcoming shows will be honored on the new dates, which will be released soon. This is such a bummer, but we wish Armstrong all the best in his recovery.

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Enters Rehab

Sad news for Green Day fans. Following the incident at the iHeartRadio festival where the band performed this week, the band's rep announced today that Billie Joe Armstrong will be entering rehab for substance abuse. The news comes after producers at iHeartRadio cut Green Day's set short for Usher and Rihanna, prompting Billie to flip them off, curse, and smash his guitar to pieces.

I was Team Green Day then and I'm Team Green Day now. If Billie is struggling I'm glad he's getting help and we sincerely hope he gets better.

Green Day at iHeartRadio 2012 - Billie Joe Armstrong Smashes Guitar - Video

Note to self: Do not piss off Green Day. Especially because they deserve all the respect in the world. Then again, I'm a huge fan. iHeartRadio? Not so much. In a move that could only describe the sad state of music today, the people at iHeartRadio allowed Usher to go 25 minutes longer than scheduled and decided to cut Green Day's set to make up for it and allow Rihanna to take the stage. Billie Joe Armstrong understandably gets pissed and lets them know exactly how messed up it is.He tells them off, flips them off, smashes his guitar, and uses a lot of his favorite word.
