American Idiot has sold more than four million copies and was named Best Rock Album at this year's Grammy Awards. Green Day is also nominated for two American Music Awards - Best Rock Or Pop Group and Best Rock Or Pop Album - which will be presented on November 22nd in Los Angeles.

Green Day will release a concert DVD called Bullet In A Bible on November 15th, which was filmed this past June in England.

The trio will play two more shows in December in Australia and plans to start work on a new album soon. The group is also working on a film treatment for American Idiot.
