For close to half a century,
Billy Idol has been one of the faces and voices of rock 'n' roll, with an artistic resumé to match his iconic image. Having emerged as the camera-ready frontman for Generation X, between 1977 and 1981, Idol forged his legendary status with three albums that made positivity, emotional depth, and high pop synonymous with punk rock. In 1982, Idol embarked on a remarkable transatlantic/trans-genre solo career that integrated clubland throb, wide-screen depth and drama, rockabilly desperation, the bold and simple lines of punk, and rock n'roll decadence.
Embracing the new MTV music channel, videos for White Wedding,
Rebel Yell and Eyes Without A Face established Idol as one of the iconic performers of his generation, a position he still holds today.
Most recently
Billy Idol has shown that he has lost none of his early fire with two outstanding, and critically acclaimed, EPs: The Roadside (2021) reflecting on his near-fatal motorcycle accident of 1990 and The Cage (2023). Watch out for details of new studio album soon. In February 2025
Billy Idol was nominated onto the ballot for induction into the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame.
