Billy Idol was an early architect of the sound, style and fury of punk rock. His lip- curling sneer and fist-pumping persona vaulted him into the mainstream as one of MTV''s first megastars, making him one of the most recognizable faces in pop music, while selling out arenas everywhere he played. He has sold 40 million albums while scoring numerous platinum albums worldwide, nine top 40 singles in the U.S. and 10 in the U.K. including "Dancing With Myself," "White Wedding," "Rebel Yell," "Mony Mony," "Eyes Without A Face," "Flesh For Fantasy" and "Cradle Of Love."
Idol was responsible for some of punk rock''s most memorable, literate and evocative moments, and created a pioneering new sound by bringing the spirit of ''77 to the dance floor, going on to fashion an immediately identifiable musical blueprint that integrates club-land throb, rockabilly desperation and rock ''n'' roll decadence.
The autumn of 2014 saw Idol return to the spotlight with two high profile releases that mark the latest chapter in the long and remarkable story of a musician, an inventor, a survivor, a father, a son, a man who returned from the brink, and a rebel whose yells made the mainstream sit up and pay attention.
On October 7, 2014 Simon and Schuster published Billy Idol''s autobiography, "Dancing With Myself." It''s an electric, intelligent, brutally honest and entirely self-written account of Idol''s journey to fame, from his early days as front man of the pioneering UK punk band Generation X to a long and often decadent life lived loving sex, drugs, rock''n''roll and motorcycles.
Later that month, on October 21, 2014, BFI Records released , Idol''s first album of new material in nearly a decade. The album''s palette, which includes incredible contributions from Idol''s longtime collaborator and lead guitarist Steve Stevens, will be instantly familiar to lovers of classic Billy Idol, while announcing a firm step into the future. Produced by Trevor Horn (with two tracks co-written and produced by multiple GRAMMY nominee Greg Kurstin), it is full of thumping, cinematic songs about sin, redemption and the love of rock ''n'' roll.
