Billie Joe Armstrong is renouncing his US citizenship over the Roe v Wade ruling

He made the announcement while performing a concert in London on Friday night (24.06.22), with fans sharing his declaration on Sunday night.

He said about his homeland: "There's too much f****** stupid in the world to go back to that miserable f******* excuse for a country.

"Oh, I'm not kidding, you're going to get a lot of me in the coming days."

He also called the justices responsible for overturning Roe v Wade "p*****".

Armstrong went on to yell at his gig at London Stadium, on the band's Hella Mega tour with Fall Out Boy and Weezer: "F*** the Supreme Court of America".

He then played Green Day's anti-war anthem 'American Idiot', the title track of the group's album of the same name from 2004.

The record was written under as a response to then-US president George W Bush leading America to invade Iraq after 9/11.

Armstrong joins an ever-growing number of celebrities hitting out at the Roe v Wade reversal, including Jack White, Pearl Jam, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Lizzo.

The 1973 Roe v Wade battled centred around 'Jane Roe', a pseudonym for Norma McCorvey.

She was a single mother pregnant for the third time who wanted an abortion, and sued the Dallas attorney general Henry Wade over a Texas law that made it a crime to terminate a pregnancy except in cases of rape or incest, or when the mother's life was in danger - arguing the law infringed on her constitutional rights.

Joe Biden blasted the ruling as "un-American" in an address from the White House on Friday (24.06.22), adding it was a "sad day for the court and the country" and calling the move "wrong, extreme and out of touch".
