This should come as no surprise to Green Day fans, but now the group has made it official: All of their upcoming concerts have been canceled as they allow Billie Joe Armstrong time to complete rehab and get back on his feet. Green Day also announced they’ll be rescheduling their January and February 2013 appearances, pushing them back rather than completely canceling the shows.
Tickets for the canceled dates will be refunded where they were purchased. Tickets for the postponed shows will be honored on the new dates.
“Obviously the timing for this isn’t ideal, but Billie Joe’s well-being is our main concern,” stated Mike Dirnt in the press release. “We are happy to say that Billie Joe is doing well, and we want to thank you all for the outpouring of support and well wishes that we have received, and we can’t wait to see you all again soon.”
And because they had to cancel their shows, Green Day has decided to move up the release of ¡Tré! from January 15, 2013 to December 11, 2012.
“We feel bad we have to delay our tour, so to make up for it we want to give our fans the music earlier than we had planned,” said Tré Cool. “If we couldn’t be there to play it for you live, the least we could do was give you the next best thing.”
