Yesterday, we reported that while Punk Rockers GREEN DAY were performing at the IHeartRadio music awards this past Saturday, September 22nd, and that allegedly, the promoter cut the bands set in half in order to give USHER some extra time during his set. As a result, Billie Joe Armstrong had an onstage melt down when the band is prompted that they have 1 minute left during their hit song "Basket Case". You can watch video of the incident below.
Following this incident, Billy Joe checked himself into rehab due to substance abuse. As a result, the bands was forced to postpone a promotional event that was scheduled for this Wednesday (September 26th) in Burbank, California. Here is a statement from the band:
"As most of you know, Billie Joe Armstrong is seeking treatment for substance abuse. As a result, Green Day has postponed their upcoming promotional appearances, which includes Tilly’s Burbank, CA Autograph Signing.
"Tilly’s fully supports Billie Joe and Green Day during this time of recovery. Thank you for your support and understanding.
"You can still pick up the new Green Day album, “Uno”, on sale tomorrow at all Tilly’s locations."
