Billy Idol - Short Biography

Billy Idol, the stage name of British singer, songwriter, musician and actor William Michael Albert Broad, rose to fame as the lead singer of punk band Generation X in the 1970s. However, it was in his solo career that Idol gained international recognition, becoming one of the main artists of the "second British invasion" in the United States, driven by MTV. Interestingly, it was the schoolteacher's description of Idol as "idle" that gave rise to his now iconic nickname. Idol holds dual British and American citizenship.
