A Welsh Green Day fan emerged from a coma after listening to the band's Grammy-winning American Idiot album, according to the BBC. Nine-year-old Corey George of Aberaman, Wales, had been in a coma and on life support for two weeks before his family played the "punk rock opera" for him. Within an hour of hearing the disc, George reportedly woke up and began moving his fingers and toes.
George was hit by an SUV while crossing the street on his ninth birthday. He has been taken off the critical list, although he is still unable to speak or move. Green Day reportedly sent a box of CDs and other merchandise to the boy after hearing the news of his emergence from the coma.
The trio begins a North American tour on April 15th in Coral Gables, Florida.
