Billy Idol is gearing up for the release of his first full-length album in over a decade, titled Dream Into It, dropping on April 25th and featuring appearances by Avril Lavigne, Joan Jett, and Alison Mosshart of The Kills.

In anticipation of the forthcoming record, Idol debuted the first single from the LP “Still Dancing;” he shares of the track: “‘Still Dancing’ is really a reflection of my whole journey. From the punk rock period through to now. And I’m still looking towards the future, still living the life I set out to live. At the start of the song I’m recalling the early times in London, when I was living in squats or at friends’ apartments, all my belongings in a plastic bag. Everybody at home or work told you what you were doing was never going to happen. But punk rock gave me an opening. I was surrounded by people who loved the music as deeply as I did and you were going to throw caution to the wind, believe in what you were doing and grab on for dear life. As the song says, 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. That’s been the greatest gift of all.”

Idol will kick-off his It’s A Nice Day To… Tour Again on April 30th in Phoenix with Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, with the five-month tour set to run through September 25th in Los Angeles.
