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).

This was the song I had played for a girl I was strongly interested in, as my means to ask if she was interested in being more than just friends. This was back in the 1990s. She notified me the feelings were mutual and she was holding it in for awhile because she was scared I didn’t share them. We had a fun relationship while it lasted, however unfortunately things didn’t work out between us. When we split, I left the town we both were living in because the idea of being in the town with her and us not being together was pretty heartbreaking to endure. I was young and immature at the time, but that was the decision I felt was best. When I got to the bus terminal for my cross county to join a different life, she stopped by to see me off and played the song one more time. We both shed plenty of tears that day, however we both knew it was for the best to move on with that chapter of our lives. It took a little time to get used to, but eventually we became the good friends again we were before we got together. We both also moved on to other relationships, I got married and have two wonderful kids with an equally wonderful woman, and she had two kids of her own who thought the world of her. The day I got married, she sent me a message saying “I know this is right, and she’s best for you, far better than I could be, but somehow I feel like seeing you go on to marry someone else is the biggest mistake I’ll ever make.” I made a joke about her ending up with less grey hairs later in life that anyone who married me assuredly would get.” We both shared a hell of and laugh that day and many others in the years that followed.
Last February, two days before my 41st birthday, I received heartbreaking news that she suddenly passed away. While we had been apart almost 2 decades, we still (as mentioned above) remained close friends and confidantes. The news of her death absolutely kicked my ass, knowing the world lost a tremendous soul, and so many (myself included) lost a piece of them. As I went for a to reflect immediately after, about 25 into the drive, this song came on the local station. Not going to lie and say I didn’t shed a few dozen tears after pulling off the road as it played. However, without sounding too religious, I honestly felt that was her way of saying she was ok, and in a far better place. Yet, I will forever miss my friend, and anytime this song plays, I will forever think of her. Love you KC! Always will. Wherever you are is a better place because you are there.
Edit: To those who questioned why I became romantically linked to, and married another woman after— it was far from immediately after. It was several years after KC and I decided we were better friends. She also had moved on at that point, as she had every right to. When her and I took the next step in our relationship, we were both relatively young (I was 20, she was 19). As the relationship progressed, we both realized we had different perspectives on life and what we wanted for a long term thing. I wanted kids eventually, she didn’t want them period (ultimately had them, so she changed her mind but at the time…). I wanted the white picket fence eventually, she was more of a free spirit that wasn’t thinking that way, and was happy being involved but didn’t want happily ever after. What ultimately led to us agreeing to be friends was I enlisted in the military, a convo I had with her many times before doing so. She was uncertain from the jump when I mentioned it but supported me following my dream. When I joined, she said she wasn’t wanting to be part of the military life, and believe me— if you are a significant other, it’s not the easiest or for everyone. She really pondered it when it was brought up, but ultimately decided she couldn’t make that firm a long term commitment and having us separated possibly by continents wasn’t something she was crazy about. We decided for the sake of the friendship that we would forever remain friends, and did for the remainder of her life, but that the next level wasn’t going to work. Not every relationship ending needs to be nefarious and hostile. Ours wasn’t. Far from it. Sometimes as much as two people love each other, life takes them on different paths.
I will always hold a special place in my heart for her, as I know she did me. Do I have regrets the relationship didn’t fully work in a romantic sense? Anytime any relationship ends, you always ask yourself the what if question till you find the one. That all said, I never had a single regret that we became romantically involved, and I know she never did either. Sometimes being a grown up sucks, and making decisions like that aren’t easy, but as I said— not every relationship needs to end with hostility. We are proof of that. I’ll forever love my friend and miss her every day.
To those with all the positive comments: thank you! It means so much to me to see your kind words and how this hit close to home and resonated with you. To the people I made cry, sorry about that 😎.
Peace
JP

The greatest hits of all time were penned in the '60s, '70s, and '80s. So many cherished memories! I'm grateful to have lived through the era of '80s music, the greatest melodies ever composed!
