Ok, so this isn't major breaking news like we had yesterday, but still very damn exciting for the people who hope to hear more from the members of Green Day.

The account was confirmed as a legitimate account last year when it was made, and it was also posted on the official website for a while - though Mike never used it. Yes, there are some other accounts out there claiming to be Mike - those aren't really him.

The account was created April 14, 2011. Here is his first tweet. Follow @DirntOfficial

Sooo glad the cat is out of the bag!!! Let do this!
