Its aging mixed with cutting weight and keeping his body toned while being in his mid 50s. He doesn't look bad considering what he's put into his body in the past.
@OsakaBloodCapital Yes! Agree! You are right! Jeeeeeez.....Let's see how the video submitter looks after a quarter of a century. He's still pretty ripped.
Still sexy as hell,we all age,this dose my head in,when people show a clip from 26yrs ago,and think people should look the same!!,age is a number,look at the person and thier tallent!
in the last clip i thought woah, hes been on the meth. bu then i realised he is 55 years old in it. he is not fat. he loooks healthy. in fact, he looks a lot better than people i know in their early 40s. so, i doubt it is drugs, he is just mid 50s, and looking good.
you can see what he is been through in his life... i like that...sex,drugs and rock and roll and he is still with us ..living music till the end ,how it should be ...very proud to know Billy idol and Steve Stevens
Billy is the same guy. He aged, it happens to everyone. You can't be young forever unless you find the Fountain Of Youth. But since no one has found that yet there is a very very very very very low chance some one can stay young forever.
billy idol is so goddamn hot! saw him and steve play a few years ago and i am pretty sure every chick there (and plenty of dudes) wanted to fuck both of them! super sexy.
@enisorian Maybe you`re right. But we all get older, day by day and year by year. And if you are maybe 20 today, not long and you will be 60:-)). That`s our life. And we all have to go the same way, no matter if you are poor or rich, famous or not famous. And nobody can stop it. I think, the best is, if we accept it. Cheers...:-)))
@terry2708 Just kidding about the awarding of prizes. Besides, these days, I wouldn't even know where to score any coke, other than the brand-named, cola variety produced by the company with its headquarters based in Atlanta, GA USA.
And being that it's Christmas season, I'm also too broke to cough up the ten dollars.
But see if you can guess the name of that song anyway, just for fun.
@terry2708 By the way, "Terry2708," did you notice one of the songs used in this video's "musical montage" was the hit of Simple Minds, and not of Billy Idol at all?
I'll give ya ten bucks and a line of coke if you can "Name That Tune!"
@terry2708 But I agree with the gist of what you wrote. A lot of feces DOES go down the crapper over 25 years, as well a lot of alcohol and other, non-liquid drugs, eventually, via the sidetrack routes of "up the nose" and "into the veins."
Considering Billy "Idol" Broad's habits and lifestyle choices (at least in his "Wild Wild Youth"), it's rather a miracle he is still alive to be singing at all.
@terry2708 No coincidence the television revival (the first, major of the genre since "Star Search" of the 1980s) of the talent show format was called "Pop IDOL," spawning international franchises, most notable of which is "American Idol" in The United States.
So Billy Broad chose well when he selected his stage pseudonym.
@terry2708 It could just as easily have been "BILLY LEGEND, THE IDOL ........ ," as "IDOL" is just the stage name of William Michael Albert Broad.
But Broad's selection of that particular pseudonymous surname was as insightful as it was mocking, of society's obsession with celebrity and image-making.
So he put on some chub in 95 which would've made him around 40ish I'm guessing but for his age, and compared to most other junkie rockers, he looks fantastic! Wow and to think he is a year younger than my mom. Do not forget that Billy just turned 56.
You nuts man he looks younger in 2010 than fucking half the fuckers old before their time at 35..Life to be lived he still looks the part looks=characteur=spirit AND POINT IS Do you know what age the guy is. Unreal man suppose youd rather he had his face stretched and was a LA Clone. What a world look at 50 year olds in 70s even 80s far more aged looking. So again your epoint is exactly what? Whats youre look at 50 to me he still looks good man. What a world.
I don´t think it had changed that much. Think about all the up´s and down´s he had, and i guss not alot of sleep, all the drugs through the years, the bike accident. Life on the Road. The pressure of being a public figure, seperation from hís wife and kids. And 26 years gone by. He seems like a good positive man with his heart in the right place. Famous or not famous, he just strike me as man you would like to know.
IT'S CALLED AGING, AND EVERYONE DOES IT. GOOD TO SEE HE KICKED THE DRUGS AND MADE IT TO SEE OLD AGE. HE STILL ROCKS HARDER AND BETTER THAN MOST ARTISTS OF HIS GENERATION. ...... AND - HE HAS THE BEST GUITARIST ON THE PLANET PLAYING IN HIS BAND ALL THESE YEARS---------> Steve Stevens.
