Bille Joe Armstrong Taps Son Jakob for Cover of David Bowie's 'Heroes'

In a heartwarming display of musical harmony, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong teamed up with his son Jakob for an unforgettable rendition of David Bowie's 'Heroes' - marking the 50th season of Survivor.

The unlikely duo took center stage in a promo video that recently hit the airwaves, showcasing their unique chemistry and mutual respect. In this special cover, Billie Joe takes on lead vocals, while Jakob lends his voice alongside him. Their rendition is featured in the latest promo video for Survivor's 50th season, set to kick off in February.

This unlikely collaboration comes at a time when 'Heroes' continues to reign supreme in pop culture. The iconic song was recently featured in the Stranger Things season finale, leading to a staggering 500% increase in streaming services following the episode.

Jakob, an emerging talent himself, has been making waves in the music scene for several years now. As the son of Green Day's frontman, he follows in his father's footsteps with his own musical pursuits. With a successful stint as the lead singer of punk outfit Danger! and recent endeavors with Ultra Q and Jet Engine Kiss, Jakob is proving himself to be a force to be reckoned with.

For Jakob, working alongside his dad on 'Heroes' was a thrilling experience. "It's a tough song to do justice," he admitted in an Instagram post about the track. "I'm grateful for the opportunity to try." He also shared that he produced and engineered the recording himself, further cementing his talent as both musician and producer.

Billie Joe echoed Jakob's sentiments, describing their collaboration as "cool." The two seem to have formed a strong bond over music, with Jakob noting it was a chance for him to shine alongside someone he looks up to.

As Survivor gears up for its 50th season, fans can look forward to an unforgettable promo video featuring this incredible father-son duo's rendition of 'Heroes.' With their unique blend of style and heart, Billie Joe and Jakob Armstrong are sure to leave a lasting impression on music lovers everywhere.
 
OMG, I'm DYING over this collab between @billiejoearmstrong and his son @jakobarmstrong on David Bowie's 'Heroes'! 🎸πŸ’₯ It's like the ultimate #FamilyAffair in music - they're killing it together! πŸ˜† As a fan of both Green Day and Survivor, I'm SO stoked to see these two talented musicians coming together. Jakob is totally slaying his own thing with Ultra Q and Jet Engine Kiss, but teaming up with his dad takes this collab to the next level #MusicIsLove πŸ’• #Survivor50 #HeroesForever 🎢
 
πŸ€” I was just thinking about trying out this new outdoor kitchen setup in my backyard 🏠. Have you guys ever tried making BBQ ribs with a smoker? It's been a game changer for me! I've got a sweet setup with a pellet grill and a smoker that just works magic on the ribs... or so I keep telling myself πŸ˜‚
 
🎸 Ugh, Survivor is still around? I mean, I love the nostalgia trip and all, but 50 seasons is like, wow... Can't they just let it rest now πŸ™„. And Billie Joe teaming up with his son Jakob for 'Heroes' sounds cool and all, but is this really the best way to get people hyped for another season of Survivor? I mean, I'd rather see them collaborate on a new Green Day song or something πŸ€”. And 500% increase in streaming after the Stranger Things finale? That's just ridiculous. Can't we just enjoy the music and not be pressured into watching TV shows because of it πŸ˜’.

I don't know about all the hype around Survivor's 50th season... I mean, it's cool that Billie Joe and his son Jakob teamed up for 'Heroes', but is this really something special? It sounds like just another promotional stunt to get people excited. And what's with all the fuss over a song being featured in Stranger Things? It's not like it's some groundbreaking music there... 😐 I'm more interested in seeing new, original stuff from Jakob Armstrong instead of rehashing an old classic.
 
πŸ˜” just saw the news that a massive iceberg is heading towards Antarctica 🌊 and it's gonna melt at an alarming rate... like, we're talkin' 20% of the ice cap dissolving in the next 2 years... and climate scientists are all like "yeah no big deal" πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ but I'm over here thinking 'ok this is bad news' 😬
 
Dude I'm like totally stoked that Green Day's son is killing it in the music scene too, you know? I mean Jakob's been making waves for years now and finally gets to share the stage with his old man, that's pretty cool πŸ’₯. And can we talk about how awesome this promo video for Survivor is?! It's like they took a piece of heaven right out of our ears 🀩. Billie Joe and Jakob are like two peas in a pod when it comes to music, their chemistry is on point πŸ”₯. I'm loving the fact that Jakob produced and engineered his own part, that's some serious talent, bro 🎸. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to hear 'Heroes' with an extra dose of dad-son love? 😊
 
omg I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Survivor is like, 50 years old 🀯. I remember watching it back in high school with my friends and we'd always stay up late till 3 am talking about our strategies for the next day's challenges. anyway, this collab between Billie Joe and Jakob is super cool - their chemistry is undeniable! 🎸 I'm loving how Jakob's been making a name for himself in the music scene too, and his production credits are on point πŸ’―. it's dope to see him shining alongside his dad like that... can't wait to see what the rest of Survivor's 50th season has in store 😊
 
omg i just saw the promo vid for Survivor's 50th season and it got me thinking, have you guys ever listened to Green Day's "Good Riddance" ? πŸ€” i mean its like their most iconic song and billie joe's vocals are so emotive 😊. and now he's doing a cover of David Bowie's "Heroes" with his son Jakob?! that's like a dream come true for any music lover πŸ’«. i'm totally stoked to see what they do with the promo vid, but i also kinda wanna hear more of Jakob's solo stuff 🎡 he sounds super talented too! πŸ‘
 
OMG 🀩 I'm literally so hyped for the new Survivor season! And can we talk about how adorable is this promo video with Billie Joe and Jakob performing 'Heroes' together? 😍 It's like they were meant to be on that stage, you know? Their chemistry is so real πŸ’•. And I love that Jakob got to shine as a producer too, he's really making a name for himself in the music scene 🎸. My fave part of this whole thing though is how proud Billie Joe seems of his little dude, it's like they're just having the best time together 😊. Definitely gonna make me watch that promo video on repeat! πŸ‘€
 
πŸ€” gotta say, the fact that they're using the same song for Survivor's promo is kinda underwhelming... been done so many times before πŸ˜’. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's great that Billie Joe and Jakob are teaming up, but can't we see something more original here? 🎸 The Stranger Things connection is cool, though - love how they're leveraging pop culture to get the attention of new fans. πŸ’» As for Jakob, I'm not entirely sold on his solo stuff... feels like it's still finding its footing? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Maybe I'll give him another chance when he drops more original material? 😊
 
omg I'm low-key obsessed with this collab!!! 🀩 Billie Joe and Jakob killing it together is like the ultimate father-son bond right? 🎸 And can we talk about how cool it is that Jakob produced and engineered his own part of the track?!?! πŸ”₯ That's some serious skills, fam. I'm also loving how this promo vid is bringing back all the feels from when 'Heroes' first dropped. It's like a throwback to the 80s! 🎢 Can't wait for Survivor's 50th season to kick off and see what other epic moments we get to witness 🀞
 
🀘 OMG yooo! Billie Joe and his son Jakob killing it on 'Heroes'!!! 500% increase in streaming services after Stranger Things finale? πŸš€ that's lit!! I mean, the fact that they're both so talented and can just vibe off each other like that is crazy. As a fan of Green Day, it's awesome to see Billie Joe passing on his skills to Jakob. The kid's got bars! πŸ’₯ Also, Jakob producing and engineering the track himself? πŸ”₯ no surprise there, he's been making waves in the music scene for years. Can't wait to see what they come up with next 🎢
 
I'm loving the bond between Billie Joe and Jakob on that "Heroes" cover! It's so cool to see the next gen following in his dad's footsteps πŸŽΈπŸ‘. Jakob's production skills are insane, adding another layer of depth to their song choice 🀯. Their promo vid is gonna be EPIC! Can't wait for Survivor's 50th season πŸš€πŸ’₯. It's awesome that they're keeping the legacy of 'Heroes' alive while introducing new fans to David Bowie's iconic track πŸ”₯
 
I'm totally down on the whole dad-daughter teaming up for a song thingy... I mean what's next? A Justin Bieber- Hailey Baldwin duet? The whole "passing on the torch" vibe is so overdone πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. And don't even get me started on Billie Joe being all cool about it, like he's some kinda music legend just because his kid's trying to make a name for himself... I bet Jakob's been practicing that guitar solo for years and still can't even shred πŸŽΈπŸ˜’.
 
omg i cant believe billie joe and jakob are teaming up for this!!! its such a great way to celebrate survivor's 50th season, and their harmonies sound amazing 🀩🎢 - they should do a whole album together!jakob sounds like an incredibly talented dude too, gotta check out his other music 🎡
