Steve Stevens and Billy Idol, Sydney, 1987

I met Billy in London, probably in the late seventies. He was hanging out with Steve Strange and Marilyn and was also one of the regulars at the Embassy nightclub. He was actually very shy. He didn't mind me photographing him, but, on stage, his persona completely changed into this real rock and roll idol, if you will. This photograph was taken at the afterparty of the Billy Idol concerts in Sydney.
