The album is due out right before the release of Billy Idol’s self written memoir “Dancing With Myself” which is set for release tomorrow, October 7th release with Touchstone and Simon & Schuster UK.
The book is bold, searingly candid and written by Billy himself. Billy recounts his life story from his transient childhood to becoming a punk pioneer and from being one of MTV’s first megastars and revealing never before told tales of the culture, sex, drugs and rock and roll that colored Idol’s experience through fame.
We look forward to the book release and the new album. Seeing Billy Idol perform two back to back shows in San Francisco in 2010 was the highlight of my concert coverages and it has been way toooooo long! We will definitely be at the Wiltern show and will bring you our full coverage.
