as far as i know we dont care if the events are delayed all we care about is Billy getting better and the Band moving on, the band should not have to appologize, just because there are new pop singers the down right best in my eyes will always be Green Day. and tomarro everyone should show off all the GreenDay pride you have. <3 GreenDay forever

You don't have to apologize for anything, and you don't have to justify your actions. Good luck with everything.

100% Support From Me!

I'm sorry, but its a total dis to be cut short just so USHER (who I don't feel brings anything worth listening to, to the industry) could go on stage for longer... Fail...

Billie, I am way too old to be your fan, but I am. I hope you find what you're looking for at rehab. It's hard, but you are setting a good example for your children and I'm sure it is a lot of comfort to Adrienne that you are taking this step. All the best to you. You are a good person with good foundations. You can draw on that to get you through. Don't listen to all the crap. Truly. You'll make it.

No apologies necessary. I was there and it was fucking awesome but not at the expense of Billie's health and well being. Here's to your speedy recovery and I look forward to seeing you back in Las Vegas in February. I'll be the one camping out at 5:00 am to get a barricade spot.

I've been hiding under a rock for the last 20+ years and have just recently opened my ears to Green Day music, videos, interviews, etc. They have my ears, eyes, and heart. I can't get enough. Please get better!!!

Well if Billie Joe does have a substance abuse issue, then of course, ALL OF US GREEN DAY FANS are behind him 1000%. We love all of you. Billie being the front man gets the most focus. But I gotta wonder if they made you do this to calm the promoters down. I mean, this just looked like Billie being Billie. I just saw GREEN DAY at IRving a week ago. I've seen clips of Billie performing drunk, performing high. He sure seemed ok a week ago. Whatever the truth, all the best to GREEN DAY & BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG.

Good luck Billie and get well fast. I've got 24 years clean sobriety and if a wuss like me can do it, someone as kickass awesome as you will show the world how it's done. We need your help in fighting the forces of evil (aka Mitt Romney & Co.), so we're all pulling for you!

Apologize to who? Clear Channel/Live Nation, talk about a corporate monopoly...the government should be looking into them...don't ya think, hmmm...Clear Channel/Live Nation SUCKS BALLS!!! Don't apologize, they make plenty of money off of Green Day and plenty of other bands...they should be apologizing to you for only giving you a 40 minute time slot.

Please be okay Billie Joe. I've loved you for almost 20 years now and I would be devastated if anything were to happen to you. Looking forward to seeing you in Toronto again soon - take care of yourself xo

Good luck Billie, but I know you won't need it and that you'll pull through in the end. You are in my thoughts and I can't wait for everything to get back to normal. But we all have our downfalls and and I hope you know how many people are sending love your way! I love you so much man, get better soon :) <3 xo

christiexroad's picture

i figured he had to be pretty fucked up to do that. then again, if my set got cut short, and i was a f'ing rockstar for 24 years, i would have flipped my shit too. hope billie gets well. i'm paying $90 to see the band at a voodoo fest, and since yall the only band i give a shit about seeing, it'd be nice if yall were there. get well, and rock out. hope to see yall in just over a month!
