Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong is looking to be a hero, just for one day (just for one day) — and he takes his son Jakob into the adventure. Father-son duo covered David Bowie's 'Heroes' to commemorate the show's 50th season Survivor. It's a fairly unexpected set of circumstances, but we'll take it.
Billie Joe provides vocals on the track while her son Jakob plays alongside her. Their version appears in the latest promotional video for season 50 of Survivorwhich begins in February. You can watch it below, or listen to this faithful rendition on streaming platforms.
“Heroes” is experiencing a new moment of glory in pop culture. In December, the 1977 classic was featured in the season finale of Stranger Things. The song saw a nearly 500% increase on streaming services following the episode, as reported WECB.
This cover marks the first time Billie Joe and Jakob recorded vocals together, a feat the younger Armstrong called ” cool “. In an Instagram post about the track, Jakob also wrote: “It’s a song that’s difficult to do justice to – I’m grateful for the opportunity to try.” » He also revealed that he produced and directed the recording. In recent years, Jakob has followed in his father's footsteps, as did his older brother Joey, and embarked on a music career. Previously, he was the frontman of the punk band Danger!. Currently, he fronts the trio Ultra Q and has a solo project called Jet Engine Kiss.
