Billie Joe Armstrong has entered rehab — one day after his meltdown on stage!
Billie Joe Armstrong is getting treatment for substance abuse, Green Day announced shockingly, two days after the frontman bashed Justin Bieber at the iHeartRadio Music Festival on Sept. 21.
“Green day wants to apologize to those they offended at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas,” the band’s rep tells TMZ. “The band regretfully must postpone some of their upcoming promotional appearances.”
“I’m going to play a f—ing new song,” Billie said upon seeing a one minute warning during the band’s set. “F— this sh–. Gimme a f—ing break. One minute left. One minute f—ing left. You’re going to give me one minute.”
After claiming that Green Day has been around since 1988, Billie continued his tirade, making sure everyone knew he and his band shouldn’t be treated like newbies such as Justin (who wasn’t even at the show).
“I’m not f—ing Justin Bieber, you mother f—ers. You’ve got to be f—ing joking. I got one minute. One minute left. Now I got nothing left.”
Three weeks ago, Billie was rushed to the hospital for unspecified reasons. There’s a chance these instances could all be related.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Was Billie’s rant acceptable? Should he be in rehab?

Billie Joe can do what he wants because he’s famous. His tantrum was probably rigged to put Green day in the spotlight because their new album is coming out this Tuesday.
