Green Day has been banned from two Las Vegas radio stations after lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong made controversial comments about the city. During a recent concert, Armstrong referred to Las Vegas as the “worst s—hole in America,” causing backlash from listeners and station executives.
The rock band’s music has been pulled from rotation on KXTE and KXNT as a result of Armstrong’s remarks. The stations have stated that they do not condone the language used by Armstrong and have decided to remove Green Day’s songs from their playlists.
This incident serves as a reminder that public figures must be mindful of the impact of their words, especially when speaking about specific locations or communities. Green Day has not yet commented on the ban, but it is clear that their words have consequences.
