Due to singer Billie Joe’s drug/alcohol rehabilitation Green Day has been forced to postpone all their upcoming tour dates. The silver lining (albeit a weak one) is that the band has moved the release date for their new album ¡Tre! up more than a month to December 11th.
The band made the following statement:
“Obviously the timing for this isn’t ideal, but Billie Joe’s well-being is our main concern. We are happy to say that Billie Joe is doing well. [Also] 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, If we couldn’t be there to play it for you live, the least we could do was give you the next best thing.”
¡Dos!, the follow-up to ¡Uno! is still due for release on November 13th.
