Green Day Performed At Mark Zuckerberg's Wedding For Free

Green Day's lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong confirmed that he played for free at Mark Zuckerberg's wedding. At Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, he said, "Yes. I did perform for free." While talking about Zuckerberg, he said, "He was kind of a Green Day fan, almost in a nerdy kind of way which was really enduring."

At the ceremony, the "American Idiot" singer took the stage to perform "Last Night on Earth" from the band's album 21st Century Breakdown. Before starting, Billie Joe humorously remarked, "Mark wanted me to play this song… this song is one that I wrote for my wife of 18 years -- it better be for her, or I’d be in deep trouble," adding a light-hearted touch before diving into the performance.
