Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has unveiled a brand new cover of Johnny Thunders' “You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory.” Armstrong revealed that fans can expect a new cover to arrive every week for what he's calling No Fun Mondays. He said he'll keep doing it “until we’re let back out into the world.”
Last week Armstrong released a cover of “I Think We're Alone Now,” saying on Instagram, “While we’ve all been in quarantine I’ve been reflecting on the things that matter the most in my life. Family, friends and of course music. I figure if we have to spend this time in isolation at least we can be alone together.”
Green Day was among the first acts to cancel live dates as the coronavirus began its march across the globe. The punk trio had originally planned to perform in Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Taipei, Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan through March. It’s unclear when the dates will be rescheduled.
Depending on what happens, the band is slated to play a string of European festivals in late May and early June before kicking off the Hella Mega tour, also starring Fall Out Boy and Weezer, in mid-June. Green Day's 13th album, Father Of All Motherf**kers, came out last month.
