Happy Birthday today (Nov. 30) to Billy Idol. He's 62. Also celebrating is Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover (72) and bassist John Moyer (Disturbed, Operation: Mindcrime) is 44.

Billy Idol was born in Middlesex, London and first achieved fame with the punk band Generation X during the 70’s punk era. He then embarked on a successful solo career. A series of music videos for songs like Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell”. and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to record and tour with guitarist Steve Stevens. He released his 8th studio album, Kings and Queens of the Underground and a biography entitled Dancing With Myself in 2014. Billy Idol and his band took the stage at the House of Blues Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay for their first-ever multi-date residency last year and returned for another one this year. Billy rocks. Saw him a few years ago and it was an awesome show with the incredible Steve Stevens on guitar. Cheers to Billy Idol on his birthday today!
