Serena Williams has always openly shown her love for this band and whenever she watched them live, she would put in a request to play a song that she loved to the core. Billie Joe Armstrong revealed in an interview how Williams was one of the ‘sweetest’ people who would always come to watch them with a request.

He said, “We would run into her in different countries in Europe because she was kicking everybody’s a** in that particular country! She would come to the show –she would literally try to see how fast she could beat her opponent so she could actually come to the gig!”

Talking about Serena Williams’ special request, Armstrong added, “She would end up showing up and always ask us to play the song, Disappearing Boy, which was a song that we wrote years ago. She’s great – one of the sweetest people.”

As much as a legend she is herself, Williams believes in appreciating the legendary work of other people as well. In fact, she just announced that she would be attending the tour of the band and she also requested fans to do the same.
