• Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said he plans to renounce his US citizenship.

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong says he plans to renounce his US citizenship in the wake of the Roe V. Wade reversal, per Billboard.

"Fuck America. I'm fucking renouncing my citizenship," he told a packed concert stadium in London on Friday, hours after the Supreme Court's ruling, which effectively removed Americans' constitutional right to an abortion.

"There's too much fucking stupid in the world to go back to that miserable fucking excuse for a country," the singer said, claiming that he would move to the UK, per the outlet.

"Oh, I'm not kidding," the 50-year-old added, per the outlet. "You're going to get a lot of me in the coming days."

Armstrong joins a chorus of celebrities who have spoken out about the controversial decision by the Supreme Court to overturn the landmark case which recognized a pregnant person's 14th Amendment right to an abortion.
