It’s not every day someone decides to renounce their American citizenship. While it’s common for people to voice their dissatisfaction with U.S. politics and policies, it’s a whole different ballgame to take the significant step of completely giving up their citizenship status.

Though not a frequent occurrence, there are expatriates who choose to renounce or relinquish their citizenship after making a home in another country. Over the years, some notable personalities have chosen to sever their ties with America and have embarked on new journeys abroad, rarely looking back.

In a striking incident, just hours after the U.S. Supreme Court revealed its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Green Day’s iconic frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong, made headlines. Performing at a concert in London, he shared his choice to renounce his U.S. citizenship passionately.

Upon hearing of the court ruling during his performance, Armstrong addressed the London crowd, voicing his dissatisfaction with the failure of the U.S. to safeguard women’s reproductive rights and announced his decision to give up his citizenship.
