Green Day finally made their Coachella debut this year, with Billie Joe Armstrong and the band lighting up the stage with Green Day classics like Basket Case, Holiday, and Longview. The trio—Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool—made thousands relive the 2000s era once again.

And, as always, a fan was invited up on stage to play, and the fan performed Good Riddance (Time of Your Life).Armstrong, who is known for being vocal, also changed the lyrics of American Idiot and Jesus of Suburbia to fit the current political situation.

Billie Joe Armstrong has been known to be rocking since the ’90s and early 2000s, but not many know about the Green Day frontman's personal life.

They met each other at a Green Day concert in Minneapolis in 1990 and started their journey together. They soon broke up due to the distance, but eventually reconciled, and Adrienne moved to California, which made their relationship blossom. Billie Joe Armstrong got married to Adrienne Armstrong in 1994, a day before they found out that they were becoming parents. The couple has since then been together for more than three decades and has stuck together through thick and thin.

Armstrong's wife holds a sociology degree and hails from Minneapolis. She loves fashion, is an environmentalist, and is a businesswoman. She established the ecological store Atomic Garden in Oakland, California, in 2007. She formerly had a clothing company called Adeline Street and co-founded Adeline Records with Billie Joe.

Adrienne is an outspoken advocate for environmental and political concerns and has also worked with the Natural Resources Defense Council. Adrienne played an important role in Billie Joe's battle with addiction, helping him overcome those problems. He had struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, which started in the mid-1990s. He opened up about this, revealing that after his public breakdown on stage in 2012, he got himself admitted to a rehab center in Las Vegas, and he has remained sober since.

"I don't drink," Billie Joe said in a 2024 interview.

He continued saying

"For me, alcohol gets in the way of everything — my family, my sleep, my happiness. So that’s why I quit.”

Armstrong often plays and jams with his sons at his home studio.

They renewed their vows in a lavish ceremony in front of family and loved ones in Las Vegas in 2014.

Mike Dirnt and Billie Joe Armstrong formed the band Green Day in California in 1987. The band's drummer, Tré Cool, joined them later on. Their songs like Basket Case and When I Come Around, from their album Dookie, which are now considered classics, made them famous back in the 1990s. The songs are now known as punk rock anthems. Their songs are usually about topics like politics, rebellion, and adolescence, which are all energetic and fast-paced. In 2004, they released the rock opera American Idiot, which further increased their fame. Over the years, Green Day has become one of the most well-known rock groups.
