Green Day Frontman Refuses To Pull Up Pants, Kicked Off Flight
Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong found himself removed from a flight for not pulling up his pants.

File under WTF: Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong found himself removed from a flight for not pulling up his pants.
According to ABC 7, the singer was challenged by a flight attendant while boarding a Southwest flight from Oakland heading to Burbank, California on Thursday (September 1st). Asked to hike his sagging attire, witnesses claim the frontman responded by asking ‘Don’t you have better things to do than worry about that? I’m just trying to get to my fucking seat.’
Armstrong was then removed from the flight.
Taking to Twitter, he then exclaimed: ‘Just got kicked off a southwest flight because my pants sagged too low! What the fuck? No joke!’
Southwest is reported to have apologised for the incident.
