DANCING WITH MYSELF
The new york times bestselling autobiography.
Some thirty-three years later, I come to you again, with a story to tell. You know me as Billy Idol, the hell-raising rebel who’s lived life to the full—sometimes fuller than life would allow. But I am also William Albert Michael Broad, a working-class kid from the suburbs of London: a dreamer with his nose forever in a book, cursed with feeling too much, dreaming too big, and suffering slights too deeply. Life gave me a golden key when I fell in love with rock ’n’ roll (thanks to the music in my Irish mum’s blood), and a whole new world opened up to me. With this world came every opportunity, and every temptation under the sun; around-the-clock excess.
I am hopelessly divided between the dark and the good, the rebel and the saint, the sex maniac and the monk, the poet and the priest, the demagogue and the populist. Pen to paper, I am putting it all down, every bit from the heart. I am going out on a limb here, so watch my back. — Billy Idol

Billy Idol Announces 2023 North American Tour
Billy Idol will spend the spring of 2023 touring North America. His tour will kick off on March 30 in Scottsdale, Ariz., and conclude with an appearance at Pasadena's Cruel World festival on May 20.
He will be joined on the tour by his longtime collaborator, guitarist Steve Stevens .
You can see the tour dates below.
The singer has released two EPs of new material in the past two years, with last year's The Cage following 2021's The Roadside . Earlier this month, Idol was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
"Some way or other, by hook or by crook, I finagled my way into this position where I'm still going strong and enjoying it," he recently told Variety . "We just started playing because we loved it. Maybe it would last six months or a couple, three years. And now it's almost 50 years later. The music we've been putting out lately has been fantastic.”

He and his band, featuring his collaborator and lead guitarist of the last 40 years Steve Stevens , will tour the Western United States, making stops in Washington, Montana, and Colorado, including an appearance at Jazz Aspen Snowmass alongside Foo Fighters , The Lumineers , Old Dominion , and others on September 3rd.
The following week, Idol is on the East Coast for a run of shows through Washington, D.C., Boston, Brooklyn, Camden, NJ, and a return to D.C. for an intimate show at the newly opened The Atlantis . Come October, Idol will check in to Las Vegas’ The Cosmopolitan for a five-show residency.
