US music superstar shocks drinkers at a London pub as he plays hit song to astonished fans
AN AMERICAN rock star delighted fans at a London pub when he jumped on stage to perform an iconic hit.
Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, 51, looked completely different from his pop-punk days with bright blonde curls contrasting with his black locks of old.

Yet he still stunned British band Borderline Toxic when he asked to perform one of Green Day’s tracks with them during their gig at a London boozer.
Billie eventually joined the band for a version of track Basket Case – which was a definite hit with guests at Slim Jim’s Liquor Store in Islington.
Borderline Toxic’s lead singer Kerry Glass tells BBC Newsbeat: “Eleven year old freaked me out.
“I think I did three circles just running around the stage until he [Billie] was like, ‘Come sing with me’.
“It took a minute to finish.
“And then I was like, ‘You know, I’m going to enjoy every second of this.’
Green Day have been out of the spotlight lately, since they hit back at claims they didn’t speak out following the death of an acrobat at the Mad Cool festival.
Meanwhile, in 2017, frontman Billie revealed the band was “hit really hard” when Republican Donald Trump was elected to the White House.
The group was in Europe when the US presidential election results came in and he admitted that Trump was elected as a shock.
He also opened up exclusively to The Sun about the band’s huge touring following, saying: “As big as the shows have been, I’ve never had a problem with them.
“From the beginning we just wanted to play fun gigs and play records. And it’s been pretty much the same ever since.
“Being in a band is like being in a gang. Not like we’re some hard guys, but we found something in each other and that’s music. And that’s why we’re still here and playing our best.”
In addition, the group told how their latest music excites them “like the best sex and drugs.”
