Billie Joe Armstrong will still show up on NBC’s competition show The Voice as scheduled, Deadline has learned, though his band Green Day announced today that the singer is seeking treatment for substance abuse. “We’re taped and all set,” said an NBC rep about Armstrong’s appearance later this season as a mentor to Christina Aguilera’s team. Announced in July, Armstrong’s participation was taped this summer. On Friday at the iHeartRadio Festival, the singer let loose a flurry of expletives, smashed his guitar and left the stage after allegedly being told to end Green Day’s set. “We would like everyone to know that our set was not cut short by Clear Channel and to apologize to those we offended at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas. We regretfully must postpone some of our upcoming promotional appearances,” the band wrote. Green Day’s new album Uno! comes out Tuesday with a tour set to start November 26.

Could they do it because he isn’t any good?
There has to someone better. I doubt the contestants will be running to his team. Hire someone that is at least inspiring
He’s not a team leader. He’s only appearing as a mentor.
And the teams have already been set on the show.
Obvious publicity stunt is obvious
I’m shocked he’d do a low brow show like this…
I thought Green Day was raking in the cash.
I thought wrong.
Ego, not dough.
VERY disappointed that he is a drug addict. I can’t explain why, but for some reason I thought Billy was smarter than that.
Dont hate on Green Day…they are a nice band! They do have ALOT ALOT ALOT ALOT of flaws not related to they’re singing but that doesn’t make them a Bad Band. I love them. Please Stop Hating.
Joe n everyone hating green day!! Everyone in that band including billie joe is someone that could inspire you! Billie has soo much talent and he is veryyy intelegent! I think he’ll be great on the voice
What about you greenday Service good people maybe that’s why you aren’t in the band
