As Matt [turl=http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/768/]posted earlier[/turl], Billie Joe was participating in the Stand Up 2 Cancer event being held across all major networks in the US tonight. Money raised goes directly to help collaborative cancer research.

Billie Joe played "Wake Me Up When September Ends", solo, on his electric guitar. The song, many of you will recall, was one of the first Billie had written for his dad, who died of esophageal cancer 28 years ago.

Below is Billie's performance. We really hope this amazing performance will remind some of you to help support this great cause, you can donate online through the Stand Up 2 Cancer.org website.




Update: Thanks to @jmebabineau for sending us a link to this video, which has different celebrities (Billie Joe included) asking people to go to StandUp2Cancer.org and donate.
