Billy Idol (William Michael Albert Broad), whose career began in the late 1970s, is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist from Stanmore, Middlesex, England. He launched into prominence as a frontman in the London punk scene with Generation X before forging a successful solo career marked by MTV-era rock anthems. His solo debut, Billy Idol (1982), produced the hits “White Wedding” and “Dancing with Myself,” both of which became MTV classics. He followed with Rebel Yell (1983), delivering signature tracks like the title song and “Eyes Without a Face”—earning platinum sales and solidifying his status as a rock powerhouse. The 1986 album Whiplash Smile brought more radio staples like “To Be a Lover,” while his energetic cover of “Mony Mony” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1987. In 1990, Charmed Life included “Cradle of Love,” earning Idol yet another Grammy nomination for Best Rock Vocal Performance. After a decade of touring and acting, including his memoir Dancing with Myself, Idol returned in the 2000s with Devil’s Playground (2005) and continued releasing music, culminating in Dream Into It (2025)—an autobiographical album reflecting his life’s journey and featuring the single “Still Dancing.” Garnering three Grammy nominations and a Brit Award, Idol has sold multi-platinum albums worldwide. Still touring with guitarist Steve Stevens, he remains a high-energy live act whose punk-infused rock and fearless stage presence resonate across generations. His enduring hits and electric performances make him an ideal choice for rock festivals, corporate events and major live showcases.
