Billy Idol has announced his first full-length album of new music in over a decade, “Dream Into It.” The album features collaborations with Avril Lavigne, Joan Jett, and Alison Mosshart. Ahead of the album, Idol has released the single “Still Dancing,” which he describes as “a reflection of my whole journey,” from his punk rock beginnings to the present. Speaking about the new single, Idol recalls his early struggles, sharing, “I was living in squats or at friends’ apartments, all my belongings in a plastic bag,” but punk rock gave him an opening, adding “There have been many moments along the way where I’ve been self destructive. But what’s seen me through is that unflinching belief in the music that started all those years ago.” “Dream Into It” drops April 25th.
