Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong has told Kerrang! magazine that he has penned six new songs for the band while practicing self-isolation at his home.
Armstrong explained, “I’ve been writing a lot of music, and I had all these melodies in my head, so I wrote, like, six songs since all of this has been going on.”
The singer/guitarist added, “I don’t know when I can get together with Mike (Dirnt, bassist) and Tré (Cool, drummer), but I told them to make sure that they’re quarantined for now, and then I hope down the road we can get back in the studio.”
Armstrong also revealed what else he's been doing while quarantined in his home with his wife Adrienne, saying, “I’ve just been indoors like everyone else on the planet right now, waiting around to see what happens next! I’ve been going through The Office a lot, going through all of my punk and rock’n’roll documentaries, trying to read a little bit here and there, and hanging out with my dogs.”
Armstrong recently participated in the iHeartRadio Living Room Concert For America on March 29th and will also perform on an upcoming charity TV special for pandemic relief.
One World: Together At Home, produced by Global Citizen and the World Health Organization, will also feature appearances from Coldplay's Chris Martin, Billie Eilish, Eddie Vedder, Paul McCartney, John Legend, Elton John, Lady Gaga and many more. The event will be broadcast at 8:00 p.m. ET on April 18th via ABC, NBC, ViacomCBS Networks and other outlets.
