Billy Idol announces new album and UK headline show

Billy Idol announces new album, Dream Into It, his first full-length release of new music in over a decade.

Out on 25 April through Dark Horse Records, Dream Into It features guest appearances from Avril Lavigne, Joan Jett and Alison Mosshart of The Kills.

In anticipation of the forthcoming record, Billy Idol is debuting the new single Still Dancing alongside a video directed by Steven Sebring. Watch below:

Still Dancing

“Still Dancing is really a reflection of my whole journey,” explains Idol. “From the punk rock period through to now. And I’m still looking towards the future, still living the life I set out to live. At the start of the song I’m recalling the early times in London, when I was living in squats or at friends’ apartments, all my belongings in a plastic bag. Everybody at home or work told you what you were doing was never going to happen.

“But punk rock gave me an opening. I was surrounded by people who loved the music as deeply as I did and you were going to throw caution to the wind, believe in what you were doing and grab on for dear life.

“As the song says, there have been many moments along the way where I’ve been self-destructive. But what’s seen me through is that unflinching belief in the music that started all those years ago. That’s been the greatest gift of all.”
