“77” is one of the surprises on the new album by Billy Idol: “Dream Into IT”. The pop-punk song is a duet with the “Sk8er Boi” singer Avril Lavigne. On Monday evening (April 28th) he was now to experience live for the first time.
The two played him in a beautifully antiquated leather jacket outfit “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Idol’s long -standing guitarist Steve Stevens also got a lot of attention with his wild solo. The rough, but very accessible piece is inspired by British street protests in the seventies.
“I just thought that today’s situation in America does not differ so much from that in England in the 1970s, because at that time there was basically war between the unions and the governments,” said Billy Idol in an interview with “Consquence”.
What passes in America under Trump, the singer called an “attack on diversity” and “basically an attack on immigrants” who did nothing other than work.
From Wednesday (April 30th) Billy Idol will be on a US tour with Joan Jett and the BlackHearts. The first stop is in Phoenix. The first part of the tour lasts until May 23 and ends in Toronto. In June the musician can also be seen for four gigs in Germany. Motto of his concert tour: “It’s a nice day to … tour again”.
