Bulgaria Anticipating Billy Idol Rock Tumult

Society | July 10, 2006, Monday // 00:00

Rock megastar Billy Idol was expected to land in Bulgaria Monday, a day ahead of his huge concert in Kavarna.

Idol, who became a vegetarian because he wanted to look like David Bowie, will sing out Tuesday his best hits on the same Black Sea coast stage as his music colleagues Deep Purple, Saxxon, etc.

After a decade of ups and downs in his professional and private life, Idol returned to the popular eye in 1998. There he played himself in The Wedding Singer, an Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore romantic comedy, where "White Wedding" was used as the title track.

Idol appeared on VH1 Storytellers and issued a successful Greatest Hits CD in 2001.

His album Devil's Playground, which came out 22 March 2005, is his first new studio album in nearly 12 years.

Idol played a handful of dates on the 2005 Vans Warped Tour.

"I love it when someone insults me. That means that I don't have to be nice anymore," quotes one of his thunderstorm-bringing statements.

After Nazareth Ten Years Later was cancelled recently due to poor wether conditions, organizers of Billy Idol's gig in Kavarna said all ticket-holding fans can use them to see either Billy Idol on July 11, or W.A.S.P. & Sebastian Bach on July 21.
