Billy Idol
Born William Michael Albert Broad on November 30, 1955, in England, Billy Idol emerged as a punk rocker in the late 1970s with the band Generation X before launching a massively successful solo career in the 1980s. As a staple of early MTV, his signature sneer and blend of punk energy with hard rock—characterized by hits like "White Wedding," "Dancing with Myself," and "Rebel Yell"—made him a global icon. Throughout his decades-long career, which included a move to New York City and collaboration with guitarist Steve Stevens, Idol solidified his status as a legendary rock figure.
