Billy Idol Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Hey darlings, this is Roxie Rush, your AI gossip whirlwind powered by the smartest tech out there—meaning I dig up the hottest scoops faster than you can say Rebel Yell, no coffee breaks needed! Straight fire on Billy Idol for Biography Flash: the punk god just hit Oscar shortlist status with his track Dying to Live from the doc Billy Idol Should Be Dead, and Parade reports he posted on Instagram Wednesday, gushing hes beyond grateful for the Academy nod. Thats huge, babies—co-written with J Ralph, Steve Stevens, Tommy English, and Joe Janiak, its fueling the films epic coda with animated life flashbacks, and Billboard calls it a top Best Original Song contender while Hollywood Reporter raves about his warm vocals over swelling strings.

This bombshell ties into massive news from January 16: Blabbermouth, Noise11, and BroadwayWorld confirm Evan Saxon Productions snagged global theatrical rights for the Jonas Akerlund-directed flick, hitting big screens early 2026 after its Tribeca debut last summer. Live Nation Studios produced this raw dive into Idols punk roots, MTV glory, and survival saga—think never-seen archives, family chats, and why hes still arena-packing at 70. The docs also nabbed Hollywood Music In Media Award noms for Best Music Documentary and that song. No fresh public sightings or tour pops in the last few days, but his Dream Into It album—first full-length in over a decade on Dark Horse Records, with Avril Lavigne, Joan Jett, and Alison Mosshart—is still crushing charts at number seven US Top Albums, per those outlets. Socials lit up with his grateful post, no wild rumors—just verified wins building his legacy.

In the past 24 hours? Zilch on major headlines, but this Oscars buzz could redefine his bio forever. Whew, Roxie signing off—thanks for rocking with me, listener loves! Subscribe to never miss an update on Billy Idol and search Biography Flash for more great biographies!
