Billy Idol Releases New EP ‘The Roadside’

Check Out The Four Songs Here

Billy Idol has released his four-track EP titled “The Roadside” on September 17. It’s his first new material in almost seven years, and Idol worked on it throughout the pandemic. It also touched on his near-fatal motorcycle accident in 1990 when he ran a stop sign and collided with a car. (Generic Ambien) Aside from a fractured left forearm, a break between his knee and ankle took hours of surgery to repair and the surgeons had to insert a steel rod in his right leg.

“I think everyone has been feeling more reflective (during the pandemic). So, it seemed quite logical and natural to write something about my motorcycle accident,” he explained. “Certainly, the motorcycle accident was the catharsis, the wake-up moment. A little bit of me got left on that roadside. But it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing in the end; it was a wake-up call.”

“Maybe on that roadside I left behind the irreverent youthful Billy,” he continued, “and opened the door for a more attentive father and a more sensitive musician.”
