During a passionate concert in London, iconic musician Billie Joe Armstrong, known as the frontman of Green Day, took a brave stand in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade. Fueled by his strong belief in women’s reproductive rights, Armstrong announced his official renouncement of his American citizenship on stage.
In a heartfelt speech to the captivated London crowd, Armstrong expressed his deep disappointment with the Supreme Court’s ruling and criticized the current state of the United States. He even hinted at the possibility of relocating to the United Kingdom, showing his desire to distance himself from his home country. The audience responded with thunderous applause, demonstrating their solidarity with Armstrong’s stance.
The following day, Armstrong further asserted his condemnation of the Supreme Court’s decision during another electrifying performance. With raw emotion and explicit language, he unequivocally denounced both the Court and America, emphasizing his profound discontent with the country’s trajectory.
This bold move by Armstrong prominently reflects a growing wave of resistance from artists and activists who are fighting against the erosion of reproductive rights in the United States. Among them is renowned singer Billie Eilish, who has also openly voiced her dismay at the Court’s decision.
