Billie Joe Armstrong details substance abuse in Rolling Stone

In the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong goes into full confessional mode about "years of alcohol and prescription drug abuse" as well as the on-stage meltdown in Las Vegas which led to his finally seeking help. He said this:

I couldn't predict where I was going to end up at the end of the night. I'd wake up in a strange house on a couch. I wouldn't remember how. It was a complete blackout. I [only] remember tiny things [from the Vegas incident and] the next morning, I woke up. I asked [my wife] Adrienne, 'How bad was it?' She said, 'It's bad.' I called my manager. He said, 'You're getting on a plane, going back to Oakland and going into rehab immediately.

Billie Joe finished up a stint in rehab in late October and the band has rescheduled their tour dates as well as confirmed a SXSW showcase.
