Ritz Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 English: LONDON - The singer and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day's leader, was admitted to the hospital Maggiore in Bologna for a few hours. Fell ill around 12.30 Majestic hotel where he stays waiting for the concert scheduled tonight at the Arena Parco Nord, part of the I-Day Festival. According to what has been learned, Billie has suffered from sharp stomach pains in late morning, so that has been notified of the 118. The ambulance arrived just before lunch in the hotel in the city center and transported to the hospital. Admitted to the fourth floor, in the Department of Internal Medicine, the lead singer of Oakland, 40 years old, is surrounded by security men. The doctors advised him to spend the night in the hospital. At the risk of the performance tonight, at this time a decision is made ​​.. The concert marks the return of Bologna in Italy of the Californian band after three years. Parco Nord has already received twenty thousand people. The long day of music began with the performance of the groups All Time Low, Angels and Airwaves and Social Distortion. The Kooks will play later. The lineup includes the concert beginning at 21.15 Green Day and when no notice was given to the present.
Disapperingirl Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 People are talking about this in the Random News thread where someone translated the article, if you want to read it...apparently he's in hospital because of sharp stomach pains.
Pixus Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I'm so freaking worried about him. I hope he's okay.
blitzkriegdeb Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Oh jeez, hope he's alright! Hopefully it's just something he can just sleep off and nothing serious
green day drunkbunny Posted September 2, 2012 Author Posted September 2, 2012 If it turns out he has food poisoning then at least thats usually a 24 hour thing. I hope it's not appendicitis or anything like that.
Alan86 Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I think Billie will want to play the concert. I hope he can.
Cris. Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I'm not sure if it's a wise idea to have a thread about this when it's only a rumor, not yet confirmed by an official source, so for all we know Billie might be just hanging out at the hotel's swimming pool while it was actually the guy in the room directly beneath his who was taken to the hospital. Just saying, some people are quite prone to panic a bit at the news that a Green Day member is sick. And by giving this a whole thread the rumor might get out of hand and blown out of proportion. So keeping the discussion confined in the Green Day News thread while it's only a romour seems a bit more sensitive, IMO at least. Besides, they're supposed to play in Italy in a few hours, so I think if Billie was really sick some official news, saying that they won't be able to play tonight because of Billie's health, should already have come out.
Tabeeb Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 That's fucking terrible! I seriously hope he's okay. He's too young to die. Dx
WestboundSign! Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I already said that in the Random News thread.. I actually hope it's not true. But since this seems to be a reliable source, I hope it's nothing serious and he'll be better soon I was pretty shocked after reading that.
Sarcasm Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I'm just waiting for a sarcastic tweet about the hospitals pillows or something about a hot nurse. Adrienne just tweeted "Everyone calm down (Alex, you as well.) He just had stomach pains and the show tonight is cancelled. #GetWellSoonBillieJoe"

Disapperingirl Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 They've been so nice! I still feel so damn sorry for all the fans waiting for them out there...hopefully they'll play here in Italy again soon!
chewychorizo Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Yeah, it's on twitter (not saying that that makes it entirely official, but I doubt the Green Day page would post it otherwise). Hope he gets well soon!

kellista Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I feel so bad for Billie and all the fans that were going, but that was really kind of Mike and Tre to offer an apology.
