William Michael Albert Broad (born 30 November 1955), known professionally as Billy Idol, is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists, Idol claimed he was inspired by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven Second British Invasion of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as Dancing With Myself, White Wedding, Rebel Yell and Eyes Without a Face made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.
