As a 40th anniversary edition of Rebel Yell is released, the punk rock icon will answer your questions
Billy Idol cried his Rebel Yell 40 years ago this year, and an expanded anniversary edition of the album of the same name is out now. To mark the release, Billy is joining us to answer your questions.
Born William Broad and raised in unassuming London suburbs, come the mid-1970s he had morphed into Billy Idol. With blond hair aflame, he fronted Generation X and made punk rock palatable to pop fans with perky hits including Your Generation, King Rocker and Dancing With Myself – with Idol using the latter as a springboard for a solo career.
