I don't think she's said any such thing, sounds made up by fans to me. It's natural to care about him but really it isn't our business to monitor and scrutinise what he drinks every time he plays a show/goes out. We have to trust that he can take care of himself.

Some pictures for the two year anniversary of the Milan show:

Aww this is so cute! I love Proud Dad Billie.

You know you're a fangirl when you take a yoga class and have to suppress a smile every time the instructor says, "And exhale through your bellie". And now a gratuitous bellie shot.

No anniversaries, just some stunning pics of a beautiful boy.

Billie reposted Mike's egg pic wanting it to go viral. I love how active they are tonight.

Lmao he's such an annoying little brother.😂😂😂

I wish there was a CD too. Only today I listened to Love is For Losers on my crappy burned CD with the title written in marker pen instead of on a nice CD with artwork I would've gladly bought, while my Green Day + side projects CD collection sits incomplete, sad

Same. I'm really tired of artists releasing new music on vinyl and digital as our only options. In most cases, vinyl isn't the most affordable option. And in the case of The Longshot, I don't like it enough to buy a vinyl copy. And I prefer to actually own my music, so I try to avoid digital. But Dead Sara and AFI did the same with their latest releases and it really sucks. I know CDs aren't as popular but there are people out there who want them.

I wish they would have released The Longshot album on CD. That's a big part of the reason I haven't gotten around to getting it yet. I guess I'll have to get it eventually on iTunes.

Can we fangirl over Billie's tongue again for a moment? 😆 I especially like this one. Haha!

I do see why it would be concerning that he would get back into it. I mean relapse is a common thing, and I just am glad Adrienne is there to support Billie.

Loved that shirt with it’s random bunches of flowers. Seemed a little different from the rest on the tour but think he hardly wore it. It was polka dots at my show 😍😍

Is this the quote @deadair means from Billie's Rolling Stone interview? Was she your nurse as well? "No. I had a nurse that came in and made sure I wasn’t hav­ing seizures and stuff like that. But Adrienne is a strong woman. She knew the deal. I’m sure it was rough for her to see me going through this. At the same time, I think it’s safe to say there were some choices she had to make." Such as? "Am I going to get kicked to the curb? I’m sure the thought crossed her mind — that if I didn’t get sober, I could potentially lose all of that stuff. I could have lost the band too. I didn’t realize how destructive I was. I thought everybody was in on the joke. But I was the joke."

Tre's posted this now too

I love these goobers

If you had been following, we covered (haha) this already - it was non alcoholic, as seen by someone who was there. And they are still together, because Adrienne probably has a better idea of his mental state than fans watching him on Youtube do.

Real friends lift each other('s pants) up!

Here's a few more Billie and Mike friendship pictures

I agree with everything said about our boys and their beautiful friendship. I don't have much to add, but I saw this quote/pic the other day and it made me smile. Also, I love how they not only love each other as friends, but they genuinely admire each other's musical abilities too. Tre in particular seems to fanboy over Billie's songwriting pretty often. I remember him saying it's "the closest thing to magic you'll ever see" or something like that. Aw their friendship is just so perfect.❤️ They're the cutest.

Exactly! Though I wasn't a huge fan of the album I want a CD to go with my other GD side project CDs!

When you buy a book purely because the title is "Billie Jo"

I'm in love with this photo of Billie. Everything about it is just so cute. That pouty, thoughtful look on his face is absolutely adorable. He always looks so unbelievably beautiful when he's lost in thought.

It's so nice. I wish he switched up the shirts more. The revrad wardrobe was the best he's had and it's a pity he wore some of those shirts once and then they were never seen again.

Add embarrassing brother to the list with embarrassing dad and embarrassing husband And I love these guys . Mike is getting in early with the bunnies and egg pics/puns

Right, yeah sounds more like something he would've speculated at the time rather than a promise declared to the world by her, you know. He seems to be doing fine so I don't think we need to worry

@The Bellie LOOK AT THE CUTE LIL PUNX TAT

I have some fake-ass friends, then ((also can't stop staring at your profile pic, love u))

😂😂😂

It's the BEER again

I hadn't been following most of Billie's music/tours last year (The Longshot, etc...), but I just watched a few videos from a Coverups gig and saw he was drinking again. I hope he is in a good mental state (drinking in moderation, which is notoriously hard for most alcoholics to do) and I hope him and Adrienne are still together, since she said she'd leave him if he starting drinking again after the iHeart debacle.

Omg going to middle school during the emo hayday must have been awesome. I don't know, maybe the embarrassment is a part of being a green day fan. The price we pay for stanning a true legend.

My secondary school classmates thought liking Green Day was embarrassing because they weren't as emo as the superior My Chemical Romance But that's definitely not the case now. I'd say it is probably that people associate them with their younger, more embarrassing selves but then I hear this vague "I know liking Green Day now is embarrasing, but..." from big fans too, so I don't know. The "protest songs are embarrassing" could be part of it. Also the disdain for anything that got "old" and I suppose Green Day did (to them, anyway) by the second rock opera. I don't get shit for liking them or anything and it wouldn't bother me if I did, but I'm intrigued by this mysterious sentiment that sounds so clear cut, yet no one never explains

I mean look at this photo. You can’t fake this kind of love 💕 (sorry i don’t have a hosting site for pictures)

I so agree with all everyone has said here about the relationship the guys have, I think it shows in everything they do. I so love that bit at the end of The Ride, when Tre, who we so often take as saying weird and random stuff, says "if you find yourself in the same band with the same guys 30 years on, it's a very good think if you love those guys" it gets me every time I watch it, which is quite a lot 😂

I love when Mikes looks at Billie during gigs, he often turns his head to look at him: < even here I'm sure he is Speaking of feeling up (maybe not to the same level ), this was one of the first pics I saw of Rev Rad era and I was so in love with it right away and I love this one as well, Billie seems in heaven, almost closing his eyes as he takes support with his foot on Mike It's funny because I can't look at that picture without thinking that's an image for what's going on between them in real: support, faith, counting on each other Thinking back now, I think the love between Billie, Mike and Tre, even before knowing their whole story, but with just what I could see of them when looking up for vids and pics during concerts, contributed a lot to make me fall in love with the band right away. And as it's the first band I was so deeply in (not only for the music, but also for the band members themselves), I didn't realize that their level friendship is a rare thing in a band, and I didn't know that many other bands, even famous, would break up, reform, etc. I was having Green Day's example and thought the only way to form a band was when the members loved each other like Billie, Mike and Tre, it seemed inconceivable to me otherwise and it still sounds weird to me when I see very successful bands which members don't necessarily have that same bond. It's like: something is missing in that band, where are the hugs and the messing around together?

This so much.

From the Longshot's instastory: then Mike posted this on his IG story - "Too much eggstra time!"

^^^ The look of joy on his face in that one where he's about to hug the fan. Lmao we posted pretty much the same thing at exactly the same time.

That's a great idea! If I can remember, maybe I'll do that too. New album means new tour and I hope this time they don't play Wrigley when they swing by Chicago. I was happy for them when they did it, but I didn't go because I don't think Wrigley is a great venue and I knew I wasn't going to get great seats. I'll be happy if they go with a regular stadium since we probably won't get another club tour for a while.

I think the big HYPE for the Foo is juts about Dave Grohl. An ex-Nirvana member. I like the Foo, but I don't think they would have had such a big hype if Dave Grohl had not been a former member of Nirvana.

Yes, middle school is when they were popular among kids my age. It was 21CB era and the emo phase was still going strong. I have a feeling people associate them with their own embarassing middle school selves!

Here are the pics from Brit's insta story. Mike looks so handsome!

Ok speaking of fangirling over Mike... I know we’re split on the “men with babies” subject, but I guess Mike and Brittany went to meet Tre’s baby last night and Brittany posted a picture of Mike holding the baby on her IG story, and I melted into a puddle of mush. There was also one of Tre taking a picture of mike holding the baby and he looked like such a proud dad. It was all so freaking adorable. It also goes back to their friendship in a way. They’re all a big happy family and I love it!! Also I’m not sure if I’m allowed to share those pics here, but either way I can’t figure out how because apparently I’m 100 years old, so if it’s allowed someone should post them so everyone can enjoy!!

I was! Yeah in terms of number of shows vs area the UK is the most spoiled place. Pretty much guaranteed at least one show in London (plus the possibility of a warm up show and/or coming back for a stadium show later) and a few elsewhere. @G-L-O-R-I-A and @maryjanewhatsername I also really hope you get to see them.

I don't know why though but some bands seem to have more "cred" than others, I think GD are far better than the Foos but they seem to have more "cred" or maybe it doesn't feel like that if you are a Foo fan. Maybe it's more to do with being out of your teens, who knows. At least we aren't all here loving Nickleback who seem to get the most hate. 😂 It will be interesting to see what happens to Muse, I see them beginning to get bad mouthed in the press of late.

That's fair. Everyone has a band they dislike and say it's rubbish, but I don't think linking green day is more embarrassing than say, liking the foo fighters or some other band. edit: maybe the reason is that pretty much everyone liked green day when they were 12 but grew out of it while we never did so liking green day might be the musical equivalent of being an adult toy train nerd or something like that

Well, the odds are that either you'd end up with a tattoo with a cool story or it peels off. That's not too much of a risk. As far as we know nothing worse happened to Billie tattoos. I have no idea but I'm hesitant to admit I'm a fan because I expect people to think it's embarrassing. It doesn't make any sense though, because Green Day have never done anything that bad to warrant this reputation. Seems to me that they were seen as a kids band for a long time. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw revrad get really positive reception in serious "grownup" media, so maybe it's changing?

Now time for the next show's two year anniversary post Bologna, Italy on January 13th, 2017. And my favourite, Billie spotting me and @Rumpelstiltskin2000 Credit: Ivan Elmi / Roberto Villani / Myrtha Photographers / Enrico Dal Boni
