Billie Joe Armstrong,
I’m disappointed in you for letting it get this bad. You should of had more control. But, I completely understand that you didn't plan for it to be this way. I love you with all my soul. Do not let me down. You are my hero, and I have been looking up to you for the past 9 years. I’m not sure what I’d do if I didn’t have you in my life. I fully support you and am glad you have decided to go in for treatment. We will all be here with open arms when you get out. Don’t let this addiction get the best of you. I do not want to see you spiral down and crash. You can do this. Stay strong. You have tons and tons of support to help you through this. Again, I love you. I love you with all my heart. When you’re not okay, I’m not okay. And I won’t be okay until everything is back to normal. Get better as soon as possible, baby. ♥

Dear Billie Joe, I live through your music, your music makes me move, thanks to you I have regained confidence in me. You are an example for my son who is 13 years old he spends his free time listening to Green Day concert in Your Rock en seine was magical! Even though I know I'll never meet, even though I know you do not answer me, know that I sincerely hope you feel better, you're great Billie Joe, My thoughts and those of my son go to you. Sincerely.
Anne

To those asking about Mike, I can only guess that the reason he was smashing his guitar was because he was following Billie's lead. He was just backing up his friend. Also, it looked badass and he probably wanted in on the destruction. :).
Aside from that, we love you Billie Joe! We are behind you 100%.
Rage and Love!

Hope everything is ok! Kind of a shocker to hear this though.
I thought it was pretty funny when I saw the video from last night but now its a totally different story.

Billie Joe are you idiot? no need to apologize for anything, just a fucking minute? Really? freedom of expression ... pff it's your right Spain are with you (Valencia Spain) #TodosConBillieFuckingJoe Go to make it TT

i agree with piat there is no reason for an apology he probably did the substance stuff to keep himself from strangling the clear channel guyZ

piat's picture

Why apologize? Everybody knows that Clear Channel holds bands hostage and strong arms them into playing these shitty radio shows...if the bands don't play the show then Clear Channel radio stations won't play their music on on them. Then at these shows they give all the bands 40 minutes to play and it wasn't enough time for Billie and Co. to rock out. I say no apology necessary...that set rocked and the best part of it was Billie's meltdown against the Bullshit Clear Channel Giant that like to push bands like Green Day around, and force them to do what they want them to do.

if that's true then I really hope Billie get´s well soon. But one thing I do not understand Mike has participated in the affair he has also destroyed half of his bass then why is only talking about Billie. The don´t need to apologize
Regardless of what is now your German fans are there for you Billie <3
