Jason White
A longtime friend of the band, even appearing in the ‘When I Come Around’ video, Jason first joined Green Day onstage in 1999 at the Bridge School Benefit and continued on with the subsequent Warning tour singing backing vocals and playing lead guitar. Jason is also a member of several Green Day / Billie Joe side projects including The Network, Foxboro Hot Tubs, The Coverups as well as Pinhead Gunpowder.
In 2012, Green Day asked Jason to join them in the studio to help them record what would become a trilogy of albums – ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tre!. Some fans thought that Jason had joined as a full time member at this time but he would later clarify that the band just wanted more of a live sound on those records. Green Day would return to their standard three piece formation in the studio on subsequent albums.
In 2014, Jason was diagnosed with tonsil cancer which required him to have his tonsils removed. He made full recovery and he is now cancer free. Outside of his Green Day related projects, Jason has also played in California, The Influents, The Big Cats and more.
