He also holds United States citizenship. He first achieved fame in the 1970s emerging from the London punk rock scene as the lead singer of the group Generation X. Subsequently, he embarked on a solo career which led to international recognition and made Idol a lead artist during the MTV-driven "Second British Invasion" in the US. The name "Billy Idol" was inspired by a schoolteacher's description of him as "idle".
Idol began his music career in late 1976 as a guitarist in the punk rock band Chelsea. However, he soon left the group. With his former bandmate Tony James, Idol formed Generation X. With Idol as lead singer, the band achieved success in the United Kingdom and released three studio albums on Chrysalis Records, then disbanded. In 1981, Idol moved to New York City to pursue his solo career in collaboration with guitarist Steve Stevens. His debut studio album, Billy Idol (1982), was a commercial success. With music videos for singles "Dancing with Myself" and "White Wedding" Idol soon became a staple of then newly-established MTV.
Idol's second studio album, Rebel Yell (1983), was a major commercial success, featuring hit singles "Rebel Yell" and "Eyes Without a Face". The album was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipment of two million copies in the US. In 1986, he released Whiplash Smile. Having accumulated three UK top 10 singles ("Rebel Yell", "White Wedding" and "Mony Mony"), Idol released a 1988 greatest hits album titled Idol Songs: 11 of the Best; the album went platinum in the United Kingdom. Idol then released Charmed Life (1990) and the concept album Cyberpunk (1993).
Idol spent the second half of the 1990s focusing on his personal life out of the public eye. He made a musical comeback with the release of Devil's Playground (2005) and again with Kings & Queens of the Underground (2014).

Billy Idol Lyrics
Bet you didn't think this was part of the plan
An empty parking lot at two am
Leaning on my bumper, not a single soul in sight
Yeah
The one that got away, now the one of my dreams
Tryin' to make a move, bustin' at the seams
I could be your king if you let me crown you tonight
You keep acting like you gotta go
Without a chance for me to show
Put your arms around me
Let me be your savior tonight
One touch of your lips
Sent electric shock to my hips (shock)
It's the first round, I'm coming unzipped
Don't put up a fight (put up a fight)
You ain't gotta kiss me like that
Do it just so good that I can't react
Your mouth is gonna give me a heart attack
When it hits mine
You don't have to leave me tonight
Stay a little longer, honey, I won't bite
Not at least until the moment is right
I hope that's fine
You ain't gotta kiss me like that
But if you do it's alright, alright, alright
It's alright, alright, alright
All I did was take time runnin' around
Chasin' all the taken ones, fightin' off a town
If you were around, I would have tried a little harder back then
Yeah
Glad your baby daddy brought you out tonight
Too bad the cops took him in for a fight
We gotta lot of time to become a little more than friends
So don't act like you gotta go
Without a chance for me to show
Let me be your jesus
You can be my mary tonight
You ain't gotta kiss me like that
Do it just so good that I can't react
Your mouth is gonna give me a heart attack
When it hits mine
You don't have to leave me tonight
Stay a little longer, honey, I won't bite
Not at least until the moment is right
I hope that's fine
You ain't gotta kiss me like that
But if you do it's alright, alright, alright
It's alright, alright, alright
I'm a sayin', come over here now
(I come a runnin', ooh, I come a runnin')
C'mon girl, come a little closer now
(I come a runnin', ooh, I come a runnin', babe)
Oh, feel me all over now
(I come a runnin', ooh, I come a runnin', babe)
You ain't gotta kiss me like that
Do it just so good that I can't react
Your mouth is gonna give me a heart attack
When it hits mine
You don't have to leave me tonight
Stay a little longer, honey, I won't bite, yeah
Not at least until the moment is right
I hope that's fine
You ain't gotta kiss me like that
But if you do it's alright, alright, alright
It's alright, alright, alright
It's alright, alright, alright
It's alright, alright, alright
Woo
Come a little closer now
(I come a runnin', ooh, I come a runnin')
Come a little closer now
Kiss me (kiss me, baby, kiss me, baby, kiss me, baby, baby, kiss me, baby)
