The father-son duo covered the classic for a promo video of Survivor\u2019s 50th season<\/p>\n
\n\tGreen Day<\/a>\u2018s lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong<\/a>, is looking to be a hero, just for one day \u2014 and taking son Jakob along for the ride. The father-son duo have covered David Bowie<\/a>\u2018s \u201cHeroes\u201d to commemorate Survivor<\/a>\u2018s 50th season. It\u2019s quite a confounding set of circumstances, but we\u2019ll take it.<\/p>\n \n\tBillie Joe takes charge of the track\u2019s vocals while his son Jakob performs alongside him. Their take is featured in the latest promo video for Survivor season 50, which kicks off in February. You can watch it below, or stream the faithful rendition across platforms.<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cHeroes\u201d is having yet another moment in pop culture. In December, the 1977 classic was featured in the Stranger Things season finale. The song saw a nearly 500 percent increase on streaming services following the episode, as Rolling Stone reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tThe cover marks the first time Billie Joe and Jakob recorded vocals together, a feat the younger Armstrong called \u201ccool.\u201d In an Instagram post about the track, Jakob also wrote, \u201cIt\u2019s a tough song to do justice \u2013 I\u2019m grateful for the opportunity to try.\u201d He also revealed that he had produced and engineered the recording. For the past several years, Jakob has followed in his father\u2019s footsteps, much like his older brother Joey, and dove into a career in music. Previously, he fronted<\/a> punk outfit Danger!. Currently, he leads the trio Ultra Q and has a solo project called Jet Engine Kiss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The father-son duo covered the classic for a promo video of Survivor\u2019s 50th season Green Day\u2018s lead singer,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255190,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[135388,11001,146,57184,85,46,409,23150],"class_list":{"0":"post-255189","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-billie-joe-armstrong","9":"tag-david-bowie","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-green-day","12":"tag-il","13":"tag-israel","14":"tag-music","15":"tag-survivor"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255189\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
