Iconic punk rock musician set to drop long-awaited new album after 10-year hiatus

British punk rock icon Billy Idol has exciting news for fans as he prepares to launch his first album in over a decade entitled “Dream Into It” on April 25. The last time Idol released a full-length album was in 2014 with “Kings & Queens of the Underground.” This upcoming album is highly anticipated, especially since it boasts collaborations with acclaimed artists such as Avril Lavigne, Joan Jett, and Alison Mosshart of The Kills.

One of the highlights of the album is the lead single “Still Dancing,” which also comes with a music video. Idol shared his thoughts on the track, stating that it serves as a reflection of his musical journey from his punk rock roots to the present day. Touching on his early days in London, Idol reminisces about living in squats and friends’ apartments, with all his belongings stuffed into a plastic bag. Despite naysayers insisting his dreams were unattainable, punk rock provided an avenue for Idol to pursue his passion, surrounded by like-minded individuals who believed in the power of music.

Throughout his career, Idol admits to moments of self-destructive behavior, but his unwavering faith in the transformative nature of music has carried him through. Reflecting on his experiences, Idol acknowledges the challenges he has faced but emphasizes that his dedication to music has been the driving force behind his journey. This unshakeable belief in the transformative power of music has been the greatest gift he has received throughout his career.

In addition to the album release, Idol is set to hit the road for his “It’s A Nice Day To… Tour Again!” beginning on April 30 in Phoenix. The tour will span 40 concerts across the United States, Canada, and Europe, featuring Joan Jett and the Blackhearts as special guests. This tour promises to be a momentous occasion for fans eager to experience Billy Idol’s electrifying performances live.

With his new album “Dream Into It” on the horizon and an extensive tour lined up, fans have much to look forward to in the coming months as they witness the continued evolution of this legendary artist.
