Green Day have revealed that their guitarist Jason White is battling tonsil cancer.

Amongst the nominees for the 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction are Green Day, Nine Inch Nails and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts.

World-domination pop-punk music isn't the only thing that Mike Dirnt has his hands in these days.

Fans got only a few hours' notice that Green Day would be playing at a tiny pub in Australia yesterday.

Metallica, U2 and Green Day are three of the biggest bands in the world in different genres. Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich reveals in a new interview that he'd like the three titans to team up for a tour, and apparently the other bands could be up for it, as well.

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has quite a few irons in the film fire. The singer, who completed a rehab stint after an onstage meltdown at the iHeart Radio festival a year ago, is not only appearing in two upcoming Green Day documentaries. He also landed a role in 'Like Sunday, Like Rain,' an indie film drama that will star 'Gossip Girl' actress Leighton Meester.

The new year is already looking rosy for Green Day fans, as the band has announced a string of rescheduled 2013 tour dates. The pop-punk trio was forced to scrap a series of shows earlier this year, after singer Billie Joe Armstrong entered rehab for undisclosed substance-abuse issues, but now, things appear to be back on track, and the group will cruise through North America in March and April 20

Over the weekend, Metallica headlined the 2012 Voodoo Music + Arts Experience in New Orleans after original headliners Green Day were forced to back out. Due to Billie Joe Armstrong's recent trip to rehab, Metallica stepped in on short notice, but took a moment to pay tribute to their friends in Green Day by performing a part of 'American Idiot' onstage (as seen in the video below).

Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong is seeking treatment for substance abuse following his meltdown onstage at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas.

What are you doing tonight (Sept. 15)? If you're a Green Day fan, it might be in your best interest to hop on the computer this evening as the trio will stream the first three songs of their set from New York's Irving Plaza for viewers to check out.

Green Day, 'Nuclear Family'

Not only were the Green Day fans in attendance last night at the Echoplex in Los Angeles lucky enough to make it into the band’s secret show, but they also got to witness performances of at least nine songs that will appear on the group’s upcoming ‘¡Uno!’ ‘¡Dos!’ ‘¡Tre!’ album trilogy.

If you’re a Green Day fan, then the next several months are going to be good ones for you, as the band is flooding the marketplace with material. Not all of it is new, either. Ahead of the trio’s upcoming trilogy -’Green Day ¡Uno!’ (Sept. 25), ‘Green Day ¡Dos!’ (Nov. 13) and ‘Green Day ¡Tré!’ (Jan. 15)- the band is also planning a career-spanning, eight-CD box set, due Sept. 4.

Legendary songwriter Harlan Howard once famously noted that all any musician really needs is three chords and the truth — and for proof, look no further than the work of YouTube user Chad Neidt, whose ‘One Minute Mashup’ series proves just how easy it is to connect many famous bands’ biggest hits.

Green Day are keeping the new material coming, as the punk veterans have unveiled the artwork for their new song, ‘Oh Love.’ It’s the first single from their new album ‘¡Uno!,’ the first in a trilogy of releases, that is on the way this fall. Fans will also be able to get their hands on not one, but two new documentaries from Green Day.

Green Day reportedly have been forced to cancel plans for a free outdoor concert that was to be held somewhere in Burbank, Calif., on Friday (June 22) after city officials there denied the necessary permits due to concerns over crowd control...

The full Voodoo Music Experience lineup hasn’t been revealed yet, but there are a couple of big names already signed on for this year’s event.

Even though Axl Rose refused to take part in Guns N’ Roses‘ induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Green Day showed up to induct the band anyway, offering a speech that was part punk rock and part sappy tribute.

The Darkness have come out of retirement and will issue their third album sometime this year. Singer Justin Hawkins shared details about the unusual recording process for the release, as half was recorded in England and the other half in Nashville. There was a break in between sessions, since the band hit the festival circuit in Europe last summer to wear away any road rust.

Green Day‘s recording pace has certainly slowed over the years — it took them four years to complete ‘American Idiot’ and five to finish the follow-up, ’21st Century Breakdown,’ which was released three years ago — but they’re about to start making up for lost time with a whopping three albums of new music, scheduled to be released between September 2012 and January 2013.
