(PR) 21st Century Breakdown, Green Day's highly-anticipated eighth studio album, wass released worldwide Friday May 15th, by Reprise Records. The album is the follow-up to 2004's two-time Grammy Award-winning punk-rock opera American Idiot, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart, spawned five hit singles, and went on to sell more than 12 million copies worldwide.

[silly review quotes removed] Green Day will set televisions ablaze with scheduled performances on The Colbert Report on May 21st, the first concert of Good Morning America's 2009 Summer Concert Series from Rumsey Playfield in Central Park on May 22nd and The Late Show with David Letterman on May 22nd. On Sunday, May 24th, CBS Sunday Morning will air its first in depth interview with Green Day shot in Oakland last month.

Green Day, which is singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool, are preparing to launch their first proper tour of the United States and Canada in more than three years.

The tour begins July 3rd at Seattle's Key Arena and will cross North America through the summer, including a July 27th stop at New York City's Madison Square Garden, before finishing up with a show at the Forum in Los Angeles on August 25th.
