Green Day Move Up Album Release and Cancel Tour

10/30/2012
. Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong's current stint in rehab has forced the band to pull out of their upcoming tour plans and they are moving up the release of their next album.

The band has officially canceled their planned club tour and they will be postponing the tour dates they had planned for January and February of next year.

Green Day also announced they would move up the release date of Green Day �Tr�! to December 11, 2012 from its original date of January 15, 2013.

"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," said Tr� Cool. "If we couldn't be there to play it for you live, the least we could do was give you the next best thing."

"Obviously the timing for this isn't ideal, but Billie Joe's well-being is our main concern," said Mike Dirnt. "We are happy to say that Billie Joe is doing well, and we want to thank you all for the outpouring of support and well wishes that we have received, and we can't wait to see you all again soon.

New dates for these rescheduled shows will be announced shortly and previously purchased tickets will be honored on the new dates.
