Happy Birthday today (Nov. 30) to Billy Idol. He's 61. Also celebrating is Disturbed bassist John Moyer (43) and Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover (71).

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 back in March of this year.
