Billy Idol, the iconic rock star known for his hit “White Wedding,” showcased his vibrant style at the premiere of his documentary, “Billy Idol Should Be Dead,” held in New York City. The 69-year-old artist arrived in an all-black ensemble featuring a stylish skirt, a blazer, and modern boots, complemented by chunky silver jewelry and his trademark spiked bleach blonde hair.
The documentary, which chronicles Idol’s ascent to fame during the 1970s and 1980s, carries a title that Idol himself finds quite amusing. He noted that many people mistakenly believe he is deceased, prompting him to reflect on his turbulent past and the choices he made. “Well, it’s one of those things that people usually say when they don’t realize I’m still alive,” he explained.
Idol emphasized the documentary’s depth, which benefitted from the extended production timeline caused by COVID-19 delays. “It really helped the documentary in the sense that we were able to massage it and really look at what we had and realize what we needed,” he said, expressing pride in the final product. Following the exciting premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, the rock legend is set to take the stage for a performance, showcasing that he continues to thrive in the music scene.
This event highlights not only Idol’s enduring influence in music but also his ability to maintain a youthful spirit and relevance well into his later years. It serves as a reminder that creativity and style have no age limit, encouraging fans to embrace their passions at any stage in life.
