Before "American Idol" there was only one "Idol" and that was Billy Idol. He takes the stage this summer in a world concert tour starting up in Moscow, Russia on June 5th, 2010. Billy Idol and crew will shoot through Russia and continue all over Europe. He will be touring countries like Finland, Germany, Serbia, Macedonia and Switzerland.   He will then be coming to North America with dates to be announced.

Billy will debut his new rocking band along with some familiar old faces like  guitarist Steve Stevens, bassist Stephen McGrath and keyboardist Derek Sherinian. Also on the road with Idol will be Billy Morrison of "Circus Diablo" on guitar and Jeremy Colson, drummer who has worked with Steve Vai since 2002.

Billy Idol may not be American or the American Idol, (thank God) but he is definitely the 80's Idol with hits  like, "Rebel Yell", "Eyes Without A Face" and "White Wedding" to name a few. I'm sure the real "Idol" fans will be thrilled to see Billy in concert!  Stay tuned for North American tour dates here on The 80's Child.  See European Tour Dates.
