On Friday (September 17) Billy Idol released his brand new EP, The Roadside, his first new music since his 2014 album Kings & Queens of the Underground. The Roadside features four new songs, including its lead single 'Bitter Taste,' inspired by the motorcycle crash that almost cost Idol his leg.
Back in 1990, Idol ran a stop sign while riding his motorcycle high and collided with a car. The 'Rita Hayworth' singer was taken to the hospital where he underwent seven hours of emergency surgery to repair his shattered right leg. Though he admits he's tried to forget this terrifying incident, Idol found himself writing songs about it thirty years later.
Now that The Roadside is out in the world, Idol celebrated his new music with an exclusive iHeartRadio ICONs show. "We're going to rock on, we're going to play some rock and roll," Idol told the crowd before opening his set with 'Cradle of Love.' He quickly jumped into 'Dancing With Myself,' 'Flesh for Fantasy,' 'Rita Hayworth,' 'Bitter Taste,' 'Eyes Without A Face,' and 'Rebel Yell.'
While chatting with iHeartRadio's Jim Kerr, who hosted the special event, Idol reflected on being able to play live shows again after the long hiatus. "It's been truly fantastic," he said of being back on stage. "The audience is off the hook. They've been hungry for live music and shows, too."
