    Always such a perfect, phenomenal voice. Balm for eyes and ears. I'm watching and singing this right now (12.6.2024). What a perfect performance. My still N01 singer for 42 years since I've been listening to him since I was 14. To this day, I listen to him regularly as if he had just released all those songs. Each one was a hit and was played at discos and parties. I listen to them today as on the first day with the same enthusiasm and passion. It's like it hasn't been that many years since I've been listening to them. That's why all his songs are timeless hits. Billy Idol forever in the heart of a Croatian woman.❤️🇭🇷❤️

    Probably because he stopped the drugs & alcohol...reasonably early b4 they took control. Plus ➕his children helped him. Dam!!! Steve steven put some weight on..still a awesome guitarist 🎸 by far.
