The rock and roll living OG, Billy Idol, is finally getting thee official documentary treatment!
“Billy Idol: Should Be Dead” is the definitive feature‑length picture directed by equal fellow artisan — and idol in his own right — Jonas Åkerlund. A pairing of two renegade creatives who’ve both shaped music culture in their own electric ways.
Synopsis
The film dives deep into Billy Idol’s wild, unbreakable legacy — from his punk‑rock beginnings to his MTV‑era domination, to the near‑fatal moments that should have ended everything… but didn’t. Through never‑before‑seen footage, raw confessions, and Åkerlund’s signature high‑voltage visual style, the documentary traces Idol’s survival, reinvention, and refusal to fade away. It’s the story of a man who, by all accounts, should be dead — yet continues to roar louder than ever.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
