Billie Joe Armstrong
Greg SchneiderBillie Joe Armstrong is back in possession of his precious car.
Over the weekend, the Green Day frontman appealed for the return of his stolen ‘62 Chevy Nova, which has been in the family for decades.
“This car is near and dear to all our hearts and has been in the GD family for over 30 years,” he shared on Instagram Saturday (Feb. 5). The post featured multiple photos of the classic Chevrolet emblazoned with the word “STOLEN!” in bright red letters over top of it.
His pleas didn’t go unnoticed. The vehicle was reportedly recovered by Sherriff’s deputies on Tuesday, near the city of Orange in Orange County, and it’s apparently in good condition.
“False alarm.. turns out I forgot where I parked it… KIDDING! Truth is the person that stole it left it parked. Joy ride? Maybe.. who knows,” writes Armstrong in an update on Instagram.
“We live in desperate times. Thank god, it’s all in one piece. No damage. Thank you thank you to everyone that searched for my Chevy. Love you all.”
With the car drama behind him, Armstrong can focus his energies on Green Day, whose 13th and most recent album Father of All… debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart, following its release in February 2020.
The rockers will join forces with Miley Cyrus this Saturday (Feb. 12) for the third and final day of Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest in Los Angeles. Halsey, Machine Gun Kelly, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, and Mickey Guyton are also slated to perform in the lead-up to the double-bill.
Green Day were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015.
Lizzo has made it clear that she never abandoned her album Love in Real Life.
The “Juice” artist recently responded to rumors that the project had been cancelled after fans expected it to arrive last year. Rather than putting out the album at the time, Lizzo instead released the mixtape My Face Hurts From Smiling in June.
During a new conversation with Billboard, the “Truth Hurts” singer explained that the album itself was never scrapped and is still the same body of work she plans to release on June 5 under its new title, B**ch.
“I think the biggest misconception about my album is that I shelved Love in Real Life when I didn't,” she said. “(B**ch) is technically the same album. I just changed the name. The music is the same.”
Lizzo shared that the main difference between the earlier version of the project and the upcoming release was taking away the original title track, which eventually led to the album being renamed.
“When you change the name of something, it changes its destiny,” the singer explained. “Like, when I went from Melissa to Lizzo, it changed my destiny.”
“When this album went from Love in Real Life to Bch, it changed the trajectory of its past,” she continued. “I do think that I feel like I can express myself the way that I want to express myself right now through Bch. I think Love in Real Life was really sombre and a little bit more introspective, and I think B**ch is a little bit more empowered and self actualised and bold.”
Before the newly titled album arrives, Lizzo has already released the singles B**ch and Don’t Make Me Love U.
The artist had previously spoken about stepping away from Love in Real Life during an earlier interview with Vulture, saying the project “just wasn't what I was feeling right now”.
She also mentioned that much of the album had originally been written back in 2022.
“By 2025, I've changed, the world has changed so much, and so much has happened,” she said. “I was like, ‘I need to do s**t differently, and I don't know what it is, but I'm going to just start following my instincts.’”
