Edit -- CANCELED -- Billie to perform on NBC's New Year's Eve show

[Slave To The Network]

I'm wondering if this will still happen with Omicron becoming such a problem. I know plenty of people already who are double vaxxed and boosted who have still contracted COVID. Sure, if you're vaccinated you're not going to die from it or likely even get particularly sick, but it's still not a good thing to have. We still don't know everything this virus is capable of.

I really do hope they go through with it because I'd love to see Billie play live again. I just hope they do it with the utmost caution. I guess we'll find out tomorrow or sometime on Thursday whether or not it's still a go.

I assume it’s already recorded, are these shows ever live?

Not sure about NBC, but I do know that New Year’s Rockin’ Eve on ABC is split about 50/50.

[Billie Joes Eyelids]

It's been announced that Times Square will be open for NYE but with less people. So I think that's setting the precedent. 

[Slave To The Network]

We'll see. I forgot about pre-recording. Of course that's a likely outcome.

[Yosuke Hanamura]

Well, the NBC NYE Special is going to be held in Miami.

[Big Neil]

Looking forward to this tomorrow. I hope Billie does someone new and exciting.

[Billie Joes Eyelids]

Well, there goes that.

N-no..

[BilIie Joe Armstrong]

Well, at least he’s healthy

[pacejunkie punk]

Goddammit I’m sick of shit getting canceled 🥺 I was so looking forward to this

[Yosuke Hanamura]

Well, at least Journey is playing on Rockin’ Eve..

[pacejunkie punk]

Now we’ll never know what he was going to perform

Good Riddance would have been a way to end this year appropriately

If we’re lucky, maybe he’ll play something remotely

Doesn’t sound like it by his note. Maybe they couldn’t get that together on short notice

[The Grohl]

Oh....okay

 

[jengd]

Well damn..🥺

[Little Boy Named Booze]

I thought it was prerecorded and already filmed but I guess it was live then.

Here is a screenshot of his stories

The one time you wish it was prerecorded

I’d take a re-broadcast of the 2010 New Year’s performance at this point.

As disappointing as this is, I'm super glad Billie made the decision to keep himself and his loved ones safe by not going. Sounds like he dodged a bullet there on that exposure what with all these breakthrough cases happening. Seriously, FUCK YOU, COVID!

Maybe he'll release a cover or informal song or something else a bit later for fun just to do something. He's such a busybody anyway.
