Green Day
Green Day’s frontman Billie Joe Armstrong turned the 2012 edition of the iHeartRadio concert into a soap opera thanks to his onstage “meltdown”. At least that’s what the band’s management team claimed afterward.
Yet, we wouldn’t call Armstrong’s expletive-filled speech a meltdown in the least. Some would say that this is what rock stars do. But was his outburst necessary? Decide for yourself, here’s what happened.
Each singer is allotted a certain amount of time, but when Green Day’s concert was cut 15 minutes short to make time for Usher’s performance, Armstrong wasn’t having it. “I’m going to play a f–king brand new song. F–k this sh-t. One minute f–king left”, the singer said.
He then cursed Justin Bieber, who wasn’t even in the festival’s lineup. After this, Armstrong smashed his guitar and wiped off the stage.
