Billie Joe Armstrong, the famous lead singer of Green Day, made news when he shockingly decided to give up his US citizenship.
Armstrong’s anger towards the US grew during a concert with his band in Huddersfield, England. Olivia Rodrigo, the pop star, agreed with him and took a strong stand during her Glastonbury performance.
Armstrong has joined famous people like Jet Li, Tina Turner, and Elizabeth Taylor ² ² who have given up their US citizenship. Some people may be surprised by Armstrong’s choice, but it’s part of a growing trend of Americans living abroad giving up their citizenship because they’re having trouble with taxes and banks.
This risky move has led to a heated discussion about how celebrities affect the way people talk to each other. Will Armstrong’s choice make other people stand up, or will it cause people to react negatively? There is one thing that is certain: Billie Joe Armstrong’s voice will be heard, on and off stage.
