About this listen
Billy Idol just wrapped up his 2025 tour, which included a major national leg alongside Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, concluding a year that he described as incredible thanks to his fans. To mark the end of the tour, Idol released a new music video for his single "Too Much Fun," directed by Harsh Patel, featuring live footage from iconic venues like Madison Square Garden, Wembley OVO Arena, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The track comes from his latest album, *Dream Into It*, released this year, his first studio album in 11 years. Idol expressed deep appreciation for the support and reflected on the album’s storytelling nature, describing it as almost autobiographical, revisiting moments from his punk rock beginnings to his current outlook. The album was notably shaped by collaborations with younger writers and producers, including Tommy English and Nick Long, helping to modernize his sound while retaining his classic rebellious spirit. Noteworthy tracks include "77" featuring Avril Lavigne and "Still Dancing," a personal reflection on his journey and resilience in the music industry.
In interviews tied to the album and the ongoing tour, Idol talked about his evolving creative process, drawing inspiration from a documentary chronicling his life. He also discussed his collaborations with younger artists such as YUNGBLUD and Miley Cyrus, emphasizing his interest in blending generational influences and staying relevant. He shared insights on maintaining his physical health through Pilates and weight training while still enjoying motorcycle rides around California, reflecting a balance between his classic rocker lifestyle and present-day wellness.
The documentary *Billy Idol Should Be Dead*, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year, also remains a significant biographical milestone. It presents a candid look at his near-fatal struggles, including a heroin overdose and a severe motorcycle accident, underscoring his enduring survival and status in rock history.
No recent reports indicate any major business ventures or unexpected public controversies; the focus remains on his music, touring, and media projects. There have been no notable social media controversies or rumors. His net worth remains estimated around 60 million dollars, underscoring a successful career sustained by constant reinvention and strong fan loyalty.
Overall, Billy Idol’s end-of-year activities highlight a triumphant 2025 focused on creative output, fan engagement, and cementing his legacy through new music and reflective storytelling, all while maintaining his iconic rock star image. This sustained momentum positions him well for continued relevance in the coming years.
