GREEN DAY WORKS AT HOME

GREEN DAY–last seen wreaking havoc on HBO's "Reverb" show, playing through a rainstorm without missing a beat–are heading off the radar screen for awhile.

They'll be taking a break beginning mid-September in Berkeley and Oakland, California to spend time with their families…and will be welcoming a new addition to the fold as well.

Most notably, lead singer/guitarist BILLIE JOE and his wife, Adrienne, are expecting their next child mid-September (they have a three-year-old son named Joey).

Depending on how things go September 10, GREEN DAY will be taking home three MTV Video Music Awards for the smash hit "Time Of Your Life (Good Riddance)" video from their platinum NIMROD album (Reprise): "Best Alternative Music Video," "Viewer's Choice"…and "Best Looking Drummer."

Fans won't have to wait too long to see their favorite punkers in action again. GREEN DAY will be back on the road in early Winter.
