On November 30th 1955 a child was born, William Michael Albert Broad. William would eventually grow up to be the Billy Idol we know and love today. Although his first album ‘Billy Idol’ was warmly received, it was his second release ‘Rebel Yell’ that made our day. The LP included the pounding singles “Eyes Without a Face” and of course “Rebel Yell.” Billy was nominated for countless Grammys and Billboard awards, winning an MTV awarded in 1990 for his song “Cradle of Love.” Billy also found time between rehab and touring to pen is autobiography called “Dancing With Myself” in 2004.
Believe it or not, Billy still has a pulse and is touring.
Billy has taken up residence in Las Vegas, appearing at the House of Blues, playing on October 12, 14th 15th, 19th, 21st and 22nd.
