The US media alleges that the singer made the remark on September 20, as Green Day was performing live in San Francisco, California.
Individuals cited Armstrong as stating, “We don’t take no shit from people like John Fing Fisher who sold out the Oakland A’s to Las fing Vegas.” “Las Vegas is something I detest. It’s America’s biggest shithole.”
Armstrong—who was born in Oakland—seemed to be referring to John Fisher, the team’s current owner, who has had the Oakland A’s franchise for over a century.
A move to the New Las Vegas Stadium in Nevada, which is scheduled to open in 2028, was announced in April 2023. The stadium will be located on the Las Vegas Strip. There has been some backlash to the contentious decision from supporters.
Green Day’s music will no longer be played on Las Vegas radio stations KOMP 92.3 and X107.5, according to their announcement.
