But when the opportunity to work with Black Sabbath presented itself, I knew I had to seize it. Their music has influenced me since I was a kid, and I’m eager to contribute to their legacy.”
Green Day, known for their revolutionary contributions to punk rock, issued a heartfelt statement expressing their support for Armstrong. “While we’re sad to see Billie go, we completely understand his desire to pursue this incredible opportunity. Our journey together has been filled with unforgettable moments, and we will always be family. We can’t wait to see what he creates with Black Sabbath,” the band said.
Fans of both Green Day and Black Sabbath have taken to social media to share their thoughts.

Black Sabbath welcomed Armstrong with open arms, with guitarist Tony Iommi commenting, “We’re thrilled to have Billie join us. His energy and creativity will bring a fresh perspective to our music. We’re excited for what’s to come in this new chapter.” Bassist Geezer Butler echoed these sentiments, adding, “Billie’s passion for music is infectious. We’re looking forward to the creative possibilities that lie ahead.”

Green Day has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity with their recent tours and albums, while Black Sabbath, having wrapped up their farewell tour, is now looking to innovate and evolve with new talent. This collaboration between two iconic bands raises intriguing questions about the fusion of punk and metal, potentially leading to groundbreaking new music.
