Billie Joe home from hospital

After being rushed to hospital in Italy over the weekend and having to cancel shows in the area, Green Day frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong, is now back in LA and resting up, according to E! Online.

"Although the band didn't disclose details about Armstrong's illness, reports claim it had something to do with Armstrong's throat," reported E!.

Bandmates, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool, released a video apologising to fans for having to cancel their Italian gigs.

"We apologise profusely," Dirnt said. "Billy got rushed to the hospital last night due to illness. The doctors don't think it's a good idea for him to play today."

"We're beyond devastated," Tré Cool added. "We're as sad as you guys are. Billie's extremely upset about it, and we'll see you very soon."

We hope so Billie Joe!
