“It is with heavy hearts and in light of current events that we find it necessary to cancel our upcoming show in Moscow,” the band said in a statement. The band says they hope that one day they will be able to perform in Russia again.
At the end of the statement, the band members call on their fans to take good care of their own safety.
According to variety there are dozens of western acts scheduled to perform in Russia and Ukraine in the coming months. It seems unlikely that the shows will take place, according to the entertainment site. However, Green Day is only the second act to cancel a concert. Last Friday, AJR canceled their concert in Moscow. The pop act would be seen there in October.
