It’s not something you hear about every day—someone deciding to give up their American citizenship. Many people often express their frustrations about U.S. politics and policies, but choosing to formally renounce citizenship is certainly a big deal.

While rare, there are some individuals who opt to sever their U.S. citizenship as they settle into new lives in other countries. Over time, a few well-known figures have made this choice, starting fresh abroad and seldom looking back.

In a dramatic turn of events, shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court’s announcement to overturn Roe v. Wade, Green Day’s famous lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong, captured the spotlight. Amidst a performance in London, he fervently declared his intention to relinquish his American citizenship.

Responding to the court’s decision as he performed, Armstrong openly expressed his disappointment over the U.S. failing to uphold women’s reproductive rights, revealing his decision to renounce his citizenship.

The next day, during his band’s show in Huddersfield, England, Armstrong continued to express his discontent with the United States.

Additionally, pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo voiced her criticism of the conservative justices during her weekend performance at the U.K.’s Glastonbury music festival.

“This song goes out to the justices: Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh. We hate you!” the “Driver’s License” singer declared during her act at the festival.
