Billy Idol Discovers Secret Son From 1985 Rebel Yell Tour

News summary

Billy Idol, the iconic rocker known for his wild lifestyle during the 1980s, discovered in 2023 that he has a secret son named Brant Broad, conceived during his 'Rebel Yell' tour in 1985. The revelation came after his daughter Bonnie took a 23andMe DNA test that identified Brant as her half-brother. Idol was not shocked by this discovery, admitting his past was filled with numerous casual sexual encounters, and he believes he has no other unknown children. Since learning about Brant, who works in construction and has two children, Idol has developed a close relationship with him, noting their shared quirky sense of humor and family bond. The rocker, now 69, reflected that he is in a better place in life, sober, and able to fully embrace fatherhood and grandfatherhood. These revelations and reflections are featured in the documentary "Billy Idol Should Be Dead," which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.
