Green Day have been forced to cancel tour dates and reschedule an album release, owing to singer Billie Joe Armstrong’s stint in rehab.

2012 simply isn’t shaping up as the punk rockers had hoped. The band were planning to release three albums in quick succession, entitled Uno!, Dos! and Tre! and they had a Fall club tour planned, as a precursor to an even bigger arena tour. Billie Joe’s admission to rehab has pretty much put an end to that though. According to Entertainment Weekly, the band released a statement today that revealed they have cancelled the remainder of their 2012 dates and 21 of their 2013 dates, in January and February.

In the statement, sent via their publicist, the band’s bass player Mike Dirnt said “Obviously the timing for this isn’t ideal, but Billie Joe’s well-being is our main concern. We are happy to say that Billie Joe is doing well, and we want to thank you all for the outpouring of support and well wishes that we have received, and we can’t wait to see you all again soon.”

The good news for Green Day fans, however, is that they no longer have to wait until January 2013 for the release of Tre! The third album in their ambitious trilogy will now be released on November 13, 2012. Billie Joe was admitted to rehab after an onstage ‘meltdown’ at the iHeart Radio festival in September.
