During their April 12 set at Coachella, Green Day showed support for Palestine with an updated version of “Jesus Of Suburbia.“ The live rendition of the track saw frontman Billie Joe Armstrong changing the lyric “runnin’ away from pain when you’ve been victimized” to “runnin’ away from pain like the kids from Palestine.” You can see footage of that below. Notably, the performance caught the attention of Disturbed vocalist David Draiman, a fierce supporter of Israel. The frontman, who previously faced backlash after signing an artillery shell, shared an open letter for Armstrong:
“Open offer to #BillyJoeArmstrong from @GreenDay. You know I respect you brother. I’d love to have the opportunity for you to hear the Israeli/Jewish side of this horrific war. I’m available to discuss whenever you are. No judgement, nothing preconceived. Let me know.”
