Just hours after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong declared during a London concert that he would renounce his U.S. citizenship. Outraged by the ruling, Armstrong criticized the U.S. as a \u201cmiserable\u201d place and expressed reluctance to return after the band\u2019s European tour. Despite his statements, Green Day has since performed in the U.S. and plans South American shows later this year.<\/p>\n
The London audience responded with applause as Armstrong hinted at relocating to the U.K., saying, \u201cYou\u2019re going to see a lot more of me.\u201d The following night, he reiterated his frustration, exclaiming, \u201cF the Supreme Court and America\u201d before performing \u201cAmerican Idiot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Armstrong joins other artists, like Billie Eilish, in condemning the ruling. Eilish, during a July 2022 concert, called the day \u201cdark\u201d for women in the U.S. and dedicated \u201cYour Power\u201d to opposing the abuse of authority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
