Green Day Ends Detroit Concert Early Due to Drone

Band Members Express Concern for Safety

Green Day's concert in Detroit was cut short on Tuesday night after a drone flew over the stage.

Video captured by fans shows the drone hovering above the band as they performed the song "Basket Case".

Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong stopped the show and told the crowd, "We're not going to play until that drone is gone."

The band members expressed concern that the drone could pose a safety hazard to them and the audience.

Guitarist Mike Dirnt said, "We don't know what's inside that thing. It could be a bomb or something."

The show was paused for about 20 minutes while security searched for the drone.

Once the drone was no longer visible, the band resumed their performance.

Fans on social media expressed a mix of reactions to the incident.

Some praised the band for putting safety first, while others criticized them for overreacting.

The use of drones at concerts has become increasingly common in recent years.

While drones can be used for entertainment purposes, they can also pose safety risks if they are not operated responsibly.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has regulations in place regarding the use of drones.

Drones must be registered with the FAA and pilots must follow certain safety guidelines.

Green Day's incident highlights the safety concerns associated with drones at concerts.

It is important for drone operators to be aware of the regulations and to operate their drones responsibly.
