Billie Joe Armstrong and Son Jakob Cover David Bowie's "Heroes" for Survivor's 50th Season Promo
In a musical collaboration that's hard to resist, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has joined forces with his son Jakob on a cover of the iconic David Bowie song "Heroes." The unlikely duo performed the classic track together for a promo video of Survivor's upcoming 50th season.
For this special rendition, Billie Joe took charge of the vocals while his son Jakob accompanied him. The cover is featured in the latest trailer for Survivor's milestone season, set to kick off in February. Fans can catch the performance on YouTube or across various streaming platforms.
"Heroes," first released in 1977, has been experiencing a resurgence in popularity. Following its appearance in the Stranger Things season finale, streaming services reported a nearly 500 percent increase in song streams due to the episode's reference to the hit single.
This special collaboration marks Jakob's vocals debut alongside his father Billie Joe. The younger Armstrong has been making waves in his own right with various musical projects, including fronting punk outfit Danger! and leading trio Ultra Q. He also recently revealed that he produced and engineered the recording of "Heroes" for this promo video.
"It's a tough song to do justice – I'm grateful for the opportunity to try," Jakob shared on Instagram about his experience working with his father. Despite feeling the weight of Bowie's legacy, Jakob remains humble, acknowledging the challenge of performing one of the greatest songs in pop culture history.

their energy is so infectious! Jakob's vocals debut with his dad is super cool, can't wait to see what other collabs he does 
and btw "Heroes" cover is giving me all the feels 
it's amazing that it's still such a popular song even after 40+ years 
February can't come soon enough for Survivor's 50th season promo 
just heard that Billie Joe and his son Jakob did a cover of 'Heroes' for Survivor's 50th season promo 
i love how they brought this classic track to life, it gives me all the feels 
billie joe's vocals are iconic as always but its awesome to see jakob take center stage with his own unique sound 
, but this cover definitely helps explain why. What I'm really excited about is that fans will get to experience this special collaboration and maybe even discover new music from Jakob himself 
.
This is so cool! I've been listening to Green Day nonstop since they started, but a Bowie cover by the Armstrongs? Mind blown! Jakob sounds so talented and it's amazing that he's taking on his dad's vocals duties. It's a huge honor to work with someone as iconic as Billie Joe... wow 
, but at the same time, I'm not sure about it 
. I love Billie Joe and his music with Green Day, but his son Jakob's vocals sound a bit forced to me 
. I know he's got talent and all, but I don't think he needs to be paired up with his dad just yet 
. On the other hand, it's awesome that they're paying tribute to David Bowie, one of my favorite artists 
️. And who can resist a good cover song? 
I guess we'll just have to wait and see
