Green Day experienced an unexpected pause at their Saviors Tour concert Wednesday night in Detroit.
The band abruptly ran offstage just as it began the bridge of “Longview.”
The crowd continued singing the song in the band’s absence.
No explanation was given, but after a few minutes, a message on the video screen announced “Show Pause. Please standby for details.”
The group returned after about 10 minutes and resumed the song. Once the show wrapped, Green Day shared a message to social media apologizing for the unexpected delay.
They explained, “Stadium security had us clear the stage while they dealt with a potential safety issue. DPD quickly resolved the situation, and we were able to continue. Thanks for understanding.”
Billboard claims an unauthorized drone was spotted hovering within sight of the stage and security spotted the drone and pulled the band offstage.
