Post your questions for Billy Idol


As a 40th anniversary edition of Rebel Yell is released, the punk rock icon will answer your questions

Taking the curled-lip insouciance of punk into the glossy worlds of pop and mainstream hard rock, Idol became an iconic figure in the mid-1980s. The 40th anniversary edition of Rebel Yell – featuring a previously unreleased cover of Rose Royce’s Love Don’t Live Here Anymore – comes shortly after the release of Billy Idol: State Line, a concert film recorded at Hoover Dam in 2023, so at 68, Idol is as active as ever and has plenty to discuss.
