During their performance at Detroit’s Comerica Park on Wednesday night, Green Day were forced to temporarily halt their concert due to a “potential safety issue.” Midway through their rendition of “Longview,” the rock band were quickly ushered off the stage. An “unauthorized drone” had been spotted by security hovering above the stage, and they immediately got the band offstage. No explanation was shared with the crowd, but a message was soon displayed on the stage’s video screens that read: “Show Pause. Please standby for details.”
Green Day returned to the stage about 10 minutes later without mentioning the incident. Frontman Billy Joe Armstrong just said, “How you doing? We’re gonna pick up where we left off.” Following the show, Green Day wrote a since deleted post on X that shed some light on the incident, writing, “Detroit! Sorry for the delay in the show tonight, stadium security had us clear the stage while they dealt with a potential safety issue. DPD quickly resolved the situation, and we were able to continue. Thanks for understanding.” (Rolling Stone)
