Cue the "strung out and fucked up in my room" jokes, because Green Day's lead singer is reportedly seeking treatment for substance abuse and may stay in rehab for the remainder of the year. This news comes on the heels of a Wavves-level onstage meltdown at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas, which is the least punk rock place you could have an onstage meltdown, but whatever. Before Vegas happened, Armstrong had allegedly been sober for about a year.
Green Day had been on something of a creative high this year, with plans to release three LPs before Mid-January. That's still happening, and judging by the first installment ¡Uno!, they will all be aggressively okay. In other news you also cared about in middle school, Blink 182 is working on a new album, and Saves The Day still exists.
