Per Deadline:
Billie Joe Armstrong don’t want to be an American idiot.
The Grammy-winning Green Day singer/songwriter slammed the US during a Friday night concert in London, and vowed he was moving to the UK. He proclaimed “**** America,” adding that he was “renouncing” his citizenship in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade’s federal abortion protections.
Armstrong, 50, told his audience “There’s too much ****ing stupid in the world to go back to that miserable ****ing excuse for a country” when he made his reveal.
He added: “Oh, I’m not kidding, you’re going to get a lot of me in the coming days.”
It’s not the first anti-US sentiments from Armstrong, whose “American Idiot” takes shots at life in the US. He has repeatedly made political statements during his concerts and in interviews.
