Green Day's music has been pulled from Las Vegas radio stations after frontman Billie Joe Armstrong called the city a "s*******".

Green Day were performing at San Francisco’s Oracle Park - the home of the San Francisco Giants - earlier this month when he made his opinion of the city clear.
He said: “We don’t take s*** from people like f****** John Fisher [Oakland A's owner]. “I hate Las Vegas. It’s the worst s****** in America.
