Billy Idol's Wild Ride: New Doc on Hulu

0:00On March 26, Billy Idle's new documentary, titled Billy Idle Should Be Dead, hits Hulu on March 26th. The nearly two-hour film looks back at his wild ride from punk rock roots in Generation X, to massive 80s hits like Rebel Yell, White Wedding, and Dancing with Myself. It highlights how he beat heavy drug use and a brutal 1990 motorcycle crash. The movie mixes vintage footage, fresh interviews, and clever animation to fill in the gaps of his early fame. Personal items like hospital photos from the accident ground the story in raw reality. Idle teamed up with old friends, including ties to The Who to bring it all together. At 70 years old, Idle comes across as more thoughtful these days. He's a grandfather now, still rocking that spiky hair and pumping his fist on stage. Fans at film festivals like Tribeca have loved seeing his journey laid out. To cap it off, there's a brand new song called Dying to Live written just for the end. It pulls together the themes of luck, pressure, and survival with strings for the first time in his catalog.

1:05Idle says watching his life unfold gave him a new perspective, especially after losing his mom. This doc shows how far he's come, proving he's thriving against the odds. You've been listening to Entertainment and celebrity news today, AI-powered pop culture coverage.
