Steven Tyler rejected suggestions that Aerosmith had played their final shows, telling Bill Burr the band could not be gotten rid of before bringing Run-DMC onstage for a spectacular Walk This Way reunion at the Hollywood Bowl.

Four decades on from its October 1986 release, Billy Idol's third studio album remains a sharp snapshot of mid-80s rock ambition, commercial muscle and the guitar-driven sound that defined his peak years.

The hard rock giants will share the stage for two exclusive nights in Los Angeles as part of Aerosmith's long-awaited return, joining an already packed bill of rock, metal and hip-hop names.

Aerosmith will return to the Hollywood Bowl for two concerts in October and November, bringing together a remarkable list of guests from rock, metal, hip-hop and country for their first full shows since 2023.

Billy Idol has unveiled the official video for 'John Wayne', the Alison Mosshart collaboration from his latest album Dream Into It, with the clip drawing inspiration from classic western cinema and pop art influences.

The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame has confirmed its 2026 induction class, with Iron Maiden, Oasis, Billy Idol, Phil Collins, Sade, Joy Division/New Order, Luther Vandross and Wu-Tang Clan among the eight Performer category inductees. The ceremony will take place on 14 November at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, with the broadcast set for ABC and Disney+ in December.

The life and career of rock icon Billy Idol is set to be explored on the big screen in the feature-length documentary Billy Idol Should Be Dead, which will receive a wide theatrical release in early 2026. Evan Saxon Productions has acquired the global theatrical rights to the film, which was directed by three-time Grammy winner Jonas Åkerlund and produced by Live Nation Studios.
