Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong Enters Rehab after IHeartRadio Meltdown 0

by • Music • Tags: , ,

The band’s rep released a statement:

“Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong is seeking treatment for substance abuse,” the band’s rep announced Sunday. “Green Day would like everyone to know that their set was not cut short by Clear Channel and to apologize to those they offended at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas. The band regretfully must postpone some of their upcoming promotional appearances.”

Somewhere, Billie Joe is still saying, “I’m not fucking Justin Bieber, motherfuckers!” We wish him well.

Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong Flips Out at IHeartRadio Festival 1

Can’t say I blame him. Green Day’s set got cut from 45 minutes to 25 minutes so Usher could have more time. At first, it sounds a little bit like a good ole “don’t you know who I am?” rant, but he points out the screen that says 1 minute while he’s in the middle of a song. If you’ve planned a whole set and now they’re suddenly pulling you off after just a little over half your time, it really isn’t nice. Transcription from Gawker:

Oh, fuck this shit. I’m gonna play a fucking new song. Fuck this shit. Give me a fucking break. One minute left. One minute fucking left. You’re gonna give me one fucking minute? Look at that fucking sign right there — one minute. Let me fucking tell you something, let me tell you something, I’ve been around since fucking 198-fucking-8. And you’re gonna give me one fucking minute? You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me! You’re fucking kidding me. What the fuck! I’m not fucking Justin Bieber, you motherfuckers. You’ve gotta be fucking joking. This is a fucking joke. I got one minute — one minute left. Oh, now I got nothing left. Let me show you what one fucking minute fucking means. [smashes guitar] One minute. God fucking love you all. We’ll be back.

I count 21 uses of the word “fucking” or some variation of it. I think he’s a little pissed. I think I’m just going to quote Billie Joe when anything goes wrong – “I’m not fucking Justin Bieber, you motherfuckers!”
