Green Day's music pulled from Las Vegas radio stations after frontman called city a 's***hole'

Green Day's music has been pulled from Las Vegas radio stations after frontman Billie Joe Armstrong called the city a "s***hole".

The 52-year-old rocker ruffled a few feathers with his comments about Sin City after it was revealed that his favourite baseball team, the Oakland Athletics, are moving to Vegas.

Green Day were performing at San Francisco's Oracle Park — the home of the San Francisco Giants — earlier this month when he made his opinion of the city clear.

He said: "We don't take s*** from people like f****** John Fisher (Oakland A's owner).

"I hate Las Vegas. It's the worst s***hole in America."

Since then, a handful of Vegas radio stations have decided to stop playing the pop punk trio's tunes.

KOMP 92.3 posted to Instagram: "KOMP 92.3 has pulled any and all Green Day from our playlist. It's not us, Billie… it's you. #vegas4ever."

X107.5 announced it was "breaking up" with Green Day "completely".

The station announced on its website: "Well, Sin City heard him loud and clear — and X107.5 is not having it. In response to Armstrong's inflammatory comments, the station is banning all Green Day music, effective immediately.

"Considering he played a pop-up show at Fremont Country Club last year, we're surprised at his comments. The show was spectacular! But now, Armstrong has crossed a line with Las Vegas locals.

"So we're breaking up with Green Day completely. Bye Bye, Billie!"

Meanwhile, this summer saw Billie Joe and co rile up Donald Trump supporters with their "idiot" mask stunt.

While performing American Idiot and clutching a mask of Trump's face with "idiot" written on it at Washington's Nationals Park, the rocker switched up the lyrics and sang: "I'm not a part of the MAGA agenda" instead of "I'm not a part of a redneck agenda".

Green Day — completed by Tre Cool, 51, and Mike Dirnt, 52 — have long protested Trump, who is fighting it out with Kamala Harris to become president again in the November election.

Last year, the group sold t-shirts emblazoned with the former president's mug shot to raise relief funds for Maui fire victims.
