Billie Joe To Perform at Anti-Cancer Telethon

[XxRedundantCastaway86xX]

LOS ANGELES (AP) — "George Clooney, Will Smith and Gwyneth Paltrow will join an impressive list of stars taking part in September's "Stand Up to Cancer" telethon airing on major networks."

"Other celebrities announced Wednesday include Denzel Washington, Renee Zellweger, Kathy Bates and Richard Branson. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Lance Armstrong and Elizabeth Edwards were previously announced as participants."

"Performers will include Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, Neil Diamond, The Edge, Herbie Hancock, Lady Antebellum and Leona Lewis. Queen Latifah, Martina McBride and Stevie Wonder were among those already announced."

Personally, I'm pretty interested in this, seeing as only Billie Joe will be performing. Not because I don't like Mike and Tre (they're awesome and they're 2 thirds of my favorite band haha), just because I'm always used to articles saying "Green Day will be performing" not just Billie Joe Armstrong so I'm just wondering how it's going to play out. I'm also curious as to if he'll do a song with a bunch of the other artists attending or if he'll do a solo acoustic song, which I think would be awesome. It's cool to see The Edge will be their too since Green Day and U2 collaborated a while ago. Anyway, those are just my thoughts on this. Hopefully more details will surface soon.

Awesome, I'll have to watch this.

I wonder what he's going to perform.

[Annie, get your gun]

aawww... how cute! He's so sweet

But I'd like that says 'Green Day' instead of just Billie...

[Hermione]

Although, I think it's happened before that just Billie's been listed on perform somewhere early on, but it turns out to be the whole band in the end. So I suppose that could happen again. Either way is fine by me though!

Awesome, can't wait to find out what he plays

[KatherineKerplunk]

My first thought is that he might play Good Riddance but then again he might not.

[Vrock09]

*crosses fingers* that its not 21 guns

Good Riddance would be good, or LNOE

[Mommy's Little Nightmare]

Hey guys I wonder if it'll be similar to this -

I was thinking the same thing. Like maybe a group performance of something with Billie included... I always loved that, though. Billie's voice there...

[Tubbie Head]
