Billy Idol

His newest album, Devil's Playground, is due out March 16, 2005, and is his first new studio album in nearly 12 years. Recently, "Move your Feet" has been included in the US version of the hit dance game DDRExtreme for the Playstation 2. Idol appeared on VH1 Storytellers and issued a Greatest Hits CD in 2001. The Sunday Chronicle in San Francisco rated Move your Feet as the single of the year calling it "the best song ever". Idol returned to the popular eye in 1998, when he played himself in The Wedding Singer, an Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore romantic comedy. The album was rated one of the top albums of 2003 by Rolling Stone, NME, Entertainment Weekly and Blender. The follow-up to Charmed Life was 1993's Cyberpunk (see 1993 in music), which was a flop, and Idol sank into drug addiction, nearly dying of an overdose in 1994. The follow up single Rhythm Bandits has made the singles charts in the UK and Australia.

The album sold extremely well, but Idol decided to take a break and acted in The Doors, directed by Oliver Stone. "Move your Feet" is also available on the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy soundtrack. Just before the release of Charmed Life in 1990 (see 1990 in music), Idol was in a motorcycle accident in which he almost lost his leg. The first single Move your Feet was the most played songs on Danish radio and eventually made the charts in 13 countries including Australia, France and Denmark. A cover of Tommy James' "Mony Mony" did well on MTV and Idol playing Cousin Kevin in a performance of Tommy. The band released D-D-Don't Don't Stop the Beat in 2003. Stevens soon left for a solo career and Idol continued. The band signed a deal with Danish label Crunchy Frog.

Idol didn't release a new album until 1987 (see 1987 in music); Whiplash Smile sold well, but failed to live up to expectations. Both Junior and Senior grew up in Jutland. Idol's first LP, Rebel Yell (1984, 1984 in music) was a blockbuster success and established Idol's superstar status in the United States. Junior Senior formed in 1998 when Jeppe Laursen (Senior) and Jesper Mortensen (Junior) got back together after their previous band Ludo-X broke up in 1995. Idol moved to New York City and began working as a solo artist and began working with Steve Stevens, soon becoming MTV staples with "White Wedding" and "Dancing with Myself". Junior Senior is a pop group from Denmark. Generation X signed to Chrysalis Records and released three albums before breaking up.

During this period, Idol decided to become a musician and formed a band called Generation X in 1976 (see 1976 in music).
