In a display of enthusiasm for the track, Idol expressed his satisfaction, remarking that the collaboration with Lavigne elevated the song to new heights. He shared, “She’s incredible, and the song just came alive. It was already good with me on it, but it got three times better with her on it.”
For fans eagerly anticipating this musical endeavor, the opportunity to listen to their collaboration is undoubtedly a treat. The duo is slated to perform the song live on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on April 28, adding an extra layer of excitement for fans looking forward to their performance.
Looking ahead, Billy Idol’s agenda for 2025 is nothing short of exciting. Dream Into It, marking his first album release in over ten years, is set to drop on April 25. Following the album’s release, Idol, alongside Joan Jett, will kick off an extensive tour across North America just five days later. Speaking about the album, Idol emphasized its narrative quality, sharing, “The album is a little bit about the story of my life, almost in chronological order. That’s how we’ve even done the track listing. We didn’t do it like that in the old days. You always did it [with] a hit single first and the second single second. But this [album] is telling a story, that’s the story of my life. Really, that’s what Dream Into It is about.”
Moreover, on June 10, a documentary called Billy Idol Should Be Dead will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. The film will feature an exclusive performance by Idol following the screening, promising an immersive experience for fans and viewers alike. Additionally, Idol’s nomination for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame class this year further solidifies his iconic status in the music industry.

Their combined talents and shared passion for music are set to deliver an unforgettable experience for fans and enthusiasts alike.
