Billy Idol (born William Michael Albert Broad on November 30, 1955 in Middlesex, England) is an English musician. Idol lived in worthing before attending Sussex University for only a year before joining the bromley contingent of keen Sex Pistols fans. During this period, Idol decided to become a musician and formed a band called Generation X in 1976. Generation X signed to Chrysalis Records and released three successful albums before breaking up. Idol moved to new york City and began working as a solo artist and working with Steve Stevens, soon becoming MTV staples with “White Wedding” and “Dancing With Myself,” the latter of which had originally been recorded with Generation X. |
