Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Kicked Off Flight for Sagging Pants: Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong was kicked off of a Southwest Airlines flight for wearing his pants too low.
Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight Thursday night for wearing sagging pants and back-talking a flight attendant. Armstrong and a companion were on their way to Burbank, Calif. from Oakland, Calif. when the incident occurred. Passengers were preparing for departure when a flight attendant approached the musician -- who was waiting to put his bag in an overhead compartment -- and asked him to pull his pants up according to an ABC news producer who was on the flight. Armstrong responded, "Don't you have better things to do than worry about that?" The flight attendant then repeated the request and threatened to have Armstrong taken off the plane if he didn't comply. He was removed from the flight after answering, "I'm just trying to get to my f**king seat....Armstrong isn't the first famous person to have a run-in with Southwest: In 2010, Red State director Kevin Smith was booted from an Oakland to Burbank flight for being too fat."
