Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said that he plans to renounce his U.S citizenship following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
During his band’s performance at the London Stadium on Friday, Armstrong, who has been the punk rock band’s frontman since 1987, told the audience he’d be spending more time on their side of the Atlantic.
Armstrong added. “Oh, I’m not kidding. You’re going to get a lot of me in the coming days.”
Armstrong continued berating the U.S. during his band’s show in Huddersfield, England the following day.
Pop star Olivia Rodrigo called out the conservative justices by name during her performance over the weekend at the U.K.’s Glastonbury music festival.
“This song goes out to the justices: Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh. We hate you!,” the “Driver’s License” singer said during a festival performance.
The news of another famous celebrity renouncing their U.S. citizenship has shocked fans around the world. Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong made headlines when he announced his plans to give up his citizenship following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
During a performance at the London Stadium, Armstrong revealed to the audience that he would be spending more time on their side of the Atlantic. He expressed his frustration with the U.S. and stated, “Oh, I’m not kidding. You’re going to get a lot of me in the coming days.”
Armstrong didn’t stop there. During another show in Huddersfield, England, he continued to criticize the U.S. government and its recent decisions. The punk rock band’s frontman has been known for his outspoken views, and this latest announcement only adds to his reputation as a vocal critic.
In a similar move, pop star Olivia Rodrigo also used her platform to address the recent Supreme Court ruling. While performing at the Glastonbury music festival, Rodrigo called out the conservative justices by name, expressing her disdain for their actions. She took the opportunity to speak out against the decision and show her support for reproductive rights.
It seems that more and more celebrities are using their influence to speak out on political issues and make a statement. The decision to renounce citizenship is a drastic one, but for Armstrong and others, it may be a way to show their disapproval of the current state of affairs in the U.S.
As fans await more news on Armstrong’s next move, one thing is clear – the music industry is not afraid to take a stand and make their voices heard. Whether it’s through their lyrics or their actions, artists like Armstrong and Rodrigo are using their platforms to advocate for change and stand up for what they believe in.
