Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong threw a rock star sized tantrum when the Green Day set was cut short at iHeartRadio music festival in Las Vegas this weekend.

Green Day was meant to play a 45-minute set but that was chopped to 25 minutes apparently to give Usher more time. He used his final minute to spew abuse at organizers pointing out that he was not “fucking Justin Bieber”.
Armstrong was furious. “Give me a fucking break. One minute left, one minute fucking left, you are going to give me one fucking minute? Look at that fucking sign right there … one minute,” he yelled. “Let me fucking tell you something. Let me tell you something. I have been around since 19 eighty fucking eight and you are going to give me one fucking minute? You have got to be fucking kidding me. You are fucking kidding me. What the fuck? I’m not fucking Justin Beiber you muthafuckers. You’ve got to be fucking joking. This is a fucking joke. I’ve got one minute, one minute left. Oh, now I’ve got nothing left. Let me show you what one fucking minute means”.
He then proceeded to smash his guitar on the stage before storming off.
