During the last Green Day concert in Detroit, Michigan, confusion arose when a drone suddenly flew over Comerica Park stadium on Wednesday, September 4. The band members were quickly taken off the stage, and the audience was only given one explanation. A sign appeared on stage with the message «Show paused, please wait for details», but many are still asking what happened after the drone appeared in the sky.
During the Green Day concert on September 4, the band members were suddenly forced to leave the stage. Fans were left puzzled for a few minutes until a sign appeared on stage saying «Show paused» without further details. Shortly after that, the band returned to the stage, and lead vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong said, «How are you guys? Everything okay?» according to the Detroit Free Press. He then asked the audience to put away their phones, adding, «Let's be here, right now».
According to various sources, the Green Day X account shared an update with fans. However, the tweet seems to have been deleted.
«Detroit! Sorry for the delay», - the band wrote. «The stadium security made us leave the stage while they dealt with a potential safety issue. Detroit police quickly resolved the situation, and we were able to continue. Thank you for understanding».
According to local reports, Detroit police confirmed that a man was operating a drone over the concert at Comerica Park stadium.
«There was a man operating a drone over Comerica Park, and because of that, Green Day were removed from the stage», - said Detroit police representative Corporal Dan Donakowski. «Detroit police found this man. He is detained pending further investigation».
According to CBS, the FAA also released a statement about drones.
«The FAA is investigating all reports of potentially hazardous drone operations», - the statement read. «While the agency does not have criminal prosecution authority, drone operators who endanger other aircraft or people on the ground may face fines of over $ 30,000. Additionally, the FAA may suspend or revoke drone pilot certificates».
Green Day did not interrupt their concert. Returning to the stage, they resumed the show and performed some of their most popular hits, including «American Idiot»
