American rock band Green Day abruptly exited the stage during a performance Wednesday night due to an unauthorized drone that flew over the stadium.
"There was an individual that flew a drone into the Comerica Park," the Detroit Police Department confirmed with Fox News Digital. "Green Day was on stage at the time. They were escorted off the stage."
A video showed the band members running offstage in the middle of the concert. On the concert jumbotron, lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong paused and looked confused. He stopped singing for a moment, and he sprinted offstage with the other Green Day musicians.
