Courtney Love Rips Through Tom Petty, Cheap Trick Songs With Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong in London
Courtney Love sang Tom Petty, Cheap Trick songs with Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong's cover band in London on Tuesday night (Feb. 27).
It was just a typical night in Islington, U.K. on Tuesday (Feb. 27), with the lead singer of stadium-filling Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong, taking the stage at the 600-capacity venue The Garage with his side-project covers band, The Coverups. And while that was thrilling enough for the lucky fans who scored tickets, in addition to ripping through such classics as “A Million Miles Away” (Plimsouls), “I Wanna Be Sedated” (Ramones), “Ready Steady Go” (Generation X), “I Think We’re Alone Now” (Tommy James & the Shondells) and other favorites by Bryan Adams, the Pretenders, the Crickets, Buzzcocks and the Clash, Armstrong had one more trick up his sleeve. The show also included Armstrong and company’s takes on David Bowie’s “Ziggy Stardust,” Nirvana’s “Drain You” and the Strokes’ “Last Nite,” as well as a run through the Green Day singer’s side project The Longshot’s 2018 song “Love is For Losers.”
