Following his meltdown at yesterday’s I Heart Radio Music Festival at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Green Day has issued this statement that Billie Joe Armstrong is going to rehab. The Festival was sponsored by Clear Channel Radio. Armstrong went off on a tirade when the band was told their set time was up. Green Day’s next album Uno is set for release this Tuesday.
Via the band’s website:
Billie Joe is seeking treatment for substance abuse. We would like everyone to know that our set was not cut short by Clear Channel and to apologize to those we offended at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas. We regretfully must postpone some of our upcoming promotional appearances.
