Book Billy Idol
Billy Idol was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2026 alongside his longtime guitarist Steve Stevens, three years after receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The English singer and songwriter came out of London's 1970s punk scene as the frontman of Generation X, which he co-founded with Tony James after a brief stint playing guitar in Chelsea. Moving to New York in 1981 to go solo with Stevens, he became one of the defining faces of early MTV, as the videos for "Dancing with Myself" and "White Wedding" made him a fixture of the Second British Invasion. His 1983 album Rebel Yell delivered the title track and "Eyes Without a Face," and Whiplash Smile, Charmed Life and the concept record Cyberpunk followed. He earned three Grammy nominations for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance, in 1985, 1987 and 1991, and appeared in Oliver Stone's The Doors. After time away from the spotlight, he returned with Devil's Playground in 2005, playing the Warped Tour that year, then released Kings & Queens of the Underground in 2014, the memoir Dancing with Myself, and the 2025 album Dream Into It.
