If you follow Billie Joe on Instagram, or his side project, The Longshot, you may have noticed the accounts disappeared recently.

Both accounts were deactivated Oct. 5 with no warning or explanation.

But don't panic! Some good news: As of yesterday, The Longshot account has been reactivated and updated with a post from New York, encouraging fans in the United States to vote in the 2018 midterm elections.

There's no word on if or when the "billiejoearmstrong" account could be reactivated, but for now, you can still enjoy frequent posts from Green Day, Mike and Tré.
