The rock star Billie Joe Armstrong is best known for his work with Green Day, but at home, he takes on a different role – that of a father to two talented sons, Joey and Jakob Armstrong. The musician married his wife, Adrienne Armstrong, at a young age, and soon after, they welcomed their first son, Joey, in 1995. Their family grew to include Jakob in 1998.
In a recent interview, Billie Joe opened up about the joys of parenthood, stating that as his sons have grown, they have developed their own wisdom and solutions to life’s challenges, creating a deeper bond between them. Both Joey and Jakob have followed in their father’s musical footsteps, each carving out their own unique paths in the industry.
Joey Armstrong, now 29, is a musician like his dad and was a drummer in the band SWMRS. Inspired by the film “School of Rock,” Joey pursued his passion for music and even had the opportunity to thank Jack Black for being his inspiration.
Jakob Armstrong, 25, has also pursued a musical career and is a member of the band Ultra Q. Despite his father’s punk rock legacy, Jakob has forged his own path in the music world, drawing inspiration from bands like The Strokes and Beach Fossils.
Both sons have had the chance to perform alongside their famous father, showcasing their musical talents on stage. As they continue to make their mark in the music industry, Billie Joe Armstrong proudly supports his sons and their creative endeavors.
