I just found out a couple of days ago that Billy Joel Armstrong has cancer, I heard it was lung Cancer caused by smoking too much. He is known to have smoked since he was 16 years old and also he is known to have taken drugs. He has kept this illness from the public for over a year now and has finially revealed it 3 weeks ago, but I only found out since Monday. He will be having treatment soon and will hopefully get better. Who here likes/loves Green Day? Also did anyone here knew about this already? Just passing on the news..... Peace. x |

I do hope he gets better. They must have some kind of fan club site or something. Check there, if it's not there then I really don't know. But this friend of mines wouldn't dream of making this kind of thing up so it has to be true. I don't think she has her facts wrong eigher. Ah well, hang in there Billy. |

Hmm.. it seems a bit weird that this hasn't been on any news sites. I know his dad dies of lung cancer.. I hope it's not true. |
Mr.Jingles 03.05.2006 10:45 |
No official press release yet. Also I went to Green Day websites and message boards, and no one has commented on this. I refuse to believe this is true, and apparently your friend has been crying thanks to someone who started a false rumor. |

I think you should edit this thread. It's quite obviously untrue and it's no fun to spread such rumours. You would not like to see such stories about someone you care on a public forum. |

Then when Mr Jingles and Rachael said that they checked the offical website and they found nothing I relised that it didn't seem true but wanted to make sure about it so I asked for the offical site to be posted here so I can ask anyone on there if they knew about it. |

I am completely calm. Type Billy Joel Armstrong + cancer into google and you will see within a minute that it's not been reported anywhere. Not on the official Green Day website, on any fan website or on any entertainment news page. I don't understand how you can find it okay to post such an outrageous "rumour" on a public forum and claim it's "information". Lung cancer is a deadly disease and it's disgusting to lie about such a serious issue. What is wrong with you people? |

I really doubt it's true, due to no sources. And if he has had it for a year, then maybe we would've seen signs he did have cancer. I highly doubt its true, but if it is (which i hope it isnt)i hope he gets better. |
YourValentine 03.05.2006 16:58 |
Andy38 - what has age to do with it? She started a topic and people pointed out to her that she is probably wrong. Nobody was rude and nobody flamed her. If I make a mistake and post something which I find to be wrong, I edit it, it's the most natural thing to do. It's called responsibility. I do not think that age is an excuse for anything. If you write a lousy paper in school you get a bad grade, no matter how young you are. I happen to think that it's irresponsible to post gravely false information about a living person - information that would cause a lot of distress to people who are close to this person. If the topic starter is old enough to post on a message board, she is also old enough to take responsibility for her messages. |
its_a_hard_life 26994 03.05.2006 17:15 |
And like I said I had relised that it didn't seem true after Mr Jingles and Racheal posted that there wasn't any offical news. I am not a big fan so I don't check there sites or anything like that. My friend is a big fan and she told me this, so I trusted her with what she had told me. I wasn't meaning to spread rumors or lies. Gosh, next time if someone is ill or something big happens I wont bother mentioning even if it's true. |

We both know that's not true, you see 11, even 10 year olds post on a message board, and you think with their lack of knowledge and understanding of the world, they should hold total responsibility of what he or she has said? My point here has nothing to do with its_a_hard_life, but it does show that if you truly believe what you have just said, then you're quite naive. All i'm saying is people make mistakes, its_a_hard_life had no intention of 'spreading rumours' or whatever which in your first post YV, seemed to accuse her of. I don't think it's as big a deal as some people make it out to be, yes the thread does hold some false information, but if people bothered to read all the posts contained within it, then no doubt they would find out the truth. |

I think Jessica has learned her lesson. Facts needs to be checked, and there's no better place than the internet to find reliable websites to find what is truth and what is just a rumor. I however disagree with all of you people bashing her. We're all human and we make mistakes. Besides, Jessica had no bad intentions of scaring anyone. |
