@BillyIdol could not have enjoyed your life story more, an inspiration to resilience!!

Recorded 3 episodes of my @SIRIUSXM Live Transmission channel 33 first wave show today for future broadcast.

I love seeing my mum in the documentary… She was so happy that day as life for her had slowed down at 92 but all the excitement of the documentary team and being interviewed she had a great time. She’s so tired. She slept all the next day!#billyidolshouldbedead

I have heard today that on IMDb. I believe #BillyIdolshouldbedead has an 8.5 out of 10 rating.

Aside from my family & good friends. I have five heroes in my life: Spike Milligan, Steve McQueen, Stan Laurel, Daffy Duck and @BillyIdol. I like to think that I have modelled my life on at least three of them. I have just watched Billy Idol Should Be Dead, and if only three-word reviews were allowed, mine would be: It’s fucking brilliant. Billy Idol Should Be Dead is the sort of title that kicks the door in, lights a cigarette & dares you to delve into the life of William Broad, the young lad who found himself whilst finding music, punk music, sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. It’s warmer, heartfelt, and far more human than people might expect. It’s not a rock documentary, but a battered, leather-clad, lip-curling survival story. I have loved punk, the Pistols, Generation X and Billy Idol for as long as I can remember, not just the music, but the anarchy, the rebellion, the mischief, the mayhem, and the idea and mentality of being different. This documentary is a joy; the obvious joy being Billy Idol himself, who remains gloriously Billy, a man who’s seen the abyss, winked at it, played along with it and then stuck two fingers up at it but there’s also something deeply heartfelt about watching someone so legendary, so iconic, also come across as vulnerable, reflective, and full on sincere. He knows he was lucky; he knows he was in the right places at the right times, but he also knows how good he is, how talented he is and despite being a dad, a grandad, he still feels dangerous round the edges, which is rather the point of the documentary It doesn’t show Billy Idol as a cartoon, a caricature of himself: all cheekbones, bleached blonde hair, and rebel yells. It lets him be a person. Not a saint, not a cautionary tale, not a rock relic hauled out to growl nostalgically about the old days, but a man who somehow survived despite everything that happened. Billy Idol Should Be Dead is not just about excess or survival, but about family, memory, and the people who knew Billy long before the world did. What lingers most is not simply the mayhem of the years when he seemed determined to live at full volume until the wheels came off. It is the sense of the boy inside the icon, and the quiet emotional thread that leads back to his mother and father. The film understands that William Broad didn’t spring fully formed into Billy Idol, and before the fame and the self-destruction, there was a son. And in the glimpses we get of that family life, the documentary finds its real heart. There is something deeply moving in the way it suggests that, however wild the journey became, the foundations of love, approval, disappointment, pride and longing never really disappear. His parents are not treated as props in the Billy Idol mythology. They feel present in a more meaningful way than that, and you come away with the sense that no matter how famous, chaotic or untouchable he appeared, some part of him was still measuring himself against the people who first shaped him. And perhaps that is why the documentary hits harder than expected. It is not just about a man who survived drugs, fame, accidents and his own terrible instincts. It is about what survives in a person after all that. The bravado is still there, thank goodness. Billy remains funny, sharp, magnetic, and wonderfully himself. But there is also an older, sadder, more reflective presence in the film, and it is in those moments that the documentary stops being merely entertaining and becomes genuinely moving. By the end, the documentary became less Billy Idol Should Be Dead and more We’re So Glad Billy Idol Isn’t Dead. And that is what makes it beautiful. For all the leather and sneering and delicious rock-star nonsense, there’s a real softness to it. It recognises that behind every legend there are people, there is a team, and behind every wild life there are family and friends whose presence never leaves. And this is why Billy Idol Should Be Dead is so moving. Yes, it’s about self-destruction bit it’s also about endurance, reckoning and gratitude. And Billy, for all the spiky charisma and lip-curling theatre, seems to know that: A man once built to embody and embrace youthful chaos now stands as proof that recklessness is not the whole story. Billy Idol Should Be Dead is affectionate without becoming gooey, honest without becoming ghoulish, and funny without losing sight of the pain. It’s loud, funny, bruised, honest, and unexpectedly tender, which I guess is much like the man himself. You can watch Billy Idol Should Be Dead on Sky Arts on @skytv now. My advice: Please do so. #BillyIdolShouldBeDead

3rd place is pretty good! 😁 @BillyIdol
