Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong Pauses Concert to Chew Out Audience Member


Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong confronted a fan in the middle of the band's show at Germany's Hurricane Festival on June 22.

In fan-captured footage from the livestream of Green Day’s set at Hurricane Festival in Germany, Armstrong can be seen singing a call-and-response portion of the band’s song “Jesus of Suburbia,” as he appears to point directly at a fan in the crowd and flipping them off. Commenters on the clips circulating online claim that the fan in question was repeatedly spraying the singer with a water gun during the performance, which led to the confrontation.
