Billy Idol, Born as William Albert Michael Broad (Middlesex, 30th of November of 1955), it's a British singer.

he has the idea os creating the alias of Billy Idol because of the cartoons  of Sport Billy on which he was a real fan (that's why the Idol). he started his career by taking a sport bag similar to the cartoons.

He strated his musical career as part of the Bromley Contingent, a group of followers of the Sex Pistols, which included members from the The Clash and the Siouxsie and the Banshees.

In 1980, Billy Idol decided to invest in a solo career.

The singer remained silent for a long period in the 90's, where he only launched only the album "Cyberpunk". In 2002, he recorded the acoustic “Storytellers” for the the North American TV channel VH-1 and on 2005 returns to the highlights with the album Devil's Playground.
