Billie Joe To Perform at Anti-Cancer Telethon

[elisa]

September 10th

ah, that's pretty soon. thanks

[Mommy's Little Nightmare]

I hope he performs When It's Time ( most probably wont though )

I hope for WMUWSE...

I mean, the month of September, a cause that really hits home with Billie, that particular song being about his father...

Perfect song to perform at this event, and by the perfect person.

[Ellenkc]

While I can see Billie doing something on his own, I don't think The Edge does that so it's most likely a group performance (unless he does do solo stuff, I don't really know)

Yeaah i wouldn't mind that but i really hope for When It's Time I love that song .

[Mommy's Little Nightmare]

Yeaah i wouldn't mind that but i really hope for When It's Time I love that song .

Didn't his dad die on September 10th, though? And isn't that when this takes place?

I really see Wake Me Up as being pretty appropriate for this...

[Lu_S]

Thanks for posting!

That's awesome!!

Just Billie ... wow ... lets see what song he will perform.

I'm very curious now!

Yeaah I think so , and yeaah it would be then , now I can only see him performing WMUWSE.

Yeah I really hope he performs WMUWSE It'll be a really significant performance because of his dads death on the same day.

[RobyRoom]

I'm really looking forward to this performance, I'm pretty curious

[champagne mami]

Aw, that's awesome.

I think it'll most likely be a performance with other people. I hope it's just like of him, but I don't know.

Either way though, i'm excited to see it.

Thanks for posting, XxRedundantCastaway86xX! Sorry, I don't know your real name.

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

Aw, cool. I wonder what it's going to be like. Acoustic performance, performance with a bunch of other people, or the whole band anyway but they just listed Billie only. Either way, it's nice

That crossed my mind as well... I think his dad also died of cancer, too. (mm, kind of iffy with knowing that, since it's so personal to him and all)

it would be great if he performed that

[Malleus]

This is pretty interesting. Anything acoustic would be great.

[The Platypus!]

This is pretty interesting. Anything acoustic would be great.

I don't see him performing anything but acoustic because he's on his own .

[Tiffx]

Ohh I'm really looking forward to this.

I reckon it might be more of a group thing, performing covers or something. But if it just Billie going solo then I have no complaints.

[Bastard of 1967]

Maybe Billie's going to do Wake Me Up When September Ends acoustically.

Any of Green Day's ballads done acoustic, or possibly WMUWSE acoustic. He always plays them wonderfully solo during the tour stop second encores so there's no reason to believe he won't spank this performance, even without Mike and Tre backing him up. I'd love to hear him do 21 Guns acoustic for this actually, maybe with just a titch of piano backing a la Jason Freese.

[susanananananaa]

Wonder in which TV channels this will air in Europe. Anyone knows?

[Smbcf]

Awesome Really looking forward to seeing this.

That actually makes sense. I was thinking it was odd if it was just him by himself and really didn't like the idea, still don't, but that actually makes it make more sense. Still dont like it tho

[oda]

he is a strong man for doing this the same date his father died of cancer. I can imagine this becoming a very emotional performance.

[The Snark]

Oh man, the acoustic version of WMUWSE always gets me. My papa died a few years ago from cancer (in September nonetheless), so I'll probably start bawling.

It's gonna be strange without Mike and Tre there, but perhaps they'll be helping answer phones...

[†...HAUSHINKA...†]

I'm really looking forward to this performance, I'm pretty curious

THIS!

[sara_gd]

It would be a good thing to know how long will this be and what else are they doing, to know if everyone of those artist will have time to perform their own thing or if its going to be something like Across the universe at the grammys...

*crosses fingers* that its not 21 guns

Good Riddance would be good, or LNOE

This.

aww man.. didn't thought about it being the day his father died! I am thinking he will also, y'know, say some words...

And is this something that will air in other tv channels? Like non American stuff? Really hope so

[Juliette]

aw cool

[Tubbie Head]

Cool, there's also going to be a pre-show

"Cat Deeley, host of Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance," will host a half-hour pre-show (7:30 p.m. EDT) available widely online at major network sites as well as other sites and portals including E! Online, Hulu and YouTube."

I kind of like pre-shows/red carpet
