Billie Joe Armstrong, the frontman of Green Day, publicly announced his intention to renounce his U.S. citizenship during a concert in London, hours after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Armstrong expressed his outrage over the ruling, particularly the U.S.’s failure to protect women’s reproductive rights, and declared his plan to give up his citizenship as a form of protest. This follows a relatively rare trend where some expatriates, including famous individuals, choose to renounce their American citizenship after moving abroad, often due to political dissatisfaction.
