Green Day

Green Day are in the city centre ahead of their Kilmainham concert tonight.

The band, who have been spotted around town, took a trip down memory lane on Instagram.

Lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong, took to the social media site to reminisce about the first time he played in Ireland.

In the post, Billie asked his fans if they can remember the name of the venue where Green Day performed.

"December 1991 we played Dublin Ireland above a pub. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the pub (sic).

"I know they called the gig above the pub 'the attic'… but what was the actual name of the pub? Does anyone remember?" he wrote.

However, he later updated the caption, and wasn't too happy about the franchise that replaced the pub.

"Ugh. It's now a Starbucks.. sorrow. I have a great memory of playing there. No one was allowed to dance in fear of the roof caving in. Everyone was so friendly. Maybe we should bum rush the Starbucks and play a gig there (sic)?!"

The pub in which they played their first gig was called the The White Horse Inn, and we're just as sad as Billie that it is now a Starbucks.

World-famous band, Green Day, have urged their fans to send ‘love and positive healing vibes’ to their guitarist, Jason White, who has been tragically diagnosed with tonsil cancer.

The devastated band released a statement on Friday saying they wanted to officially announce the news themselves before word spread.

The band members decided to open up on the background of Jason’s diagnosis, saying: “Jason recently underwent a routine tonsillectomy, and his doctors discovered a treatable form of tonsil cancer.”

Jason first began performing with Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong in the early 90’s and he became an official member of the five-time Grammy-award winning band in 2012.

The band members are determined to stay positive about their ‘brother’ Jason’s frightening diagnosis, saying: “Thankfully they caught it early and he should make a full and speedy recovery.”

Unfortunately, this is not the first cancer diagnosis to rock the band. Green Day’s bassist Mike Dirnt revealed earlier this year that his wife Brittney, with whom he shares two children, is currently battling breast cancer.

Our thoughts are with the band during this incredibly difficult time.
