After a world premiere at
#Tribeca2025, ‘Billy Idol Should Be Dead’ is now in theaters across the US and Canada.
Produced by Live Nation Studios, the Jonas Ăkerlund-directed film pulls back the leather-clad curtain on Billy Idol’s meteoric rise from sneering punk provocateur to MTV-era pop superstar.
More than just a rock doc — this is a story about reckoning with the past and finding a way forward. Åkerlund’s kinetic style and unflinching candor deliver an unforgettable portrait of a man who’s cheated death, defied expectations and still commands the stage with the same swagger that first set him apart. For longtime fans and new audiences alike, this film is a must-see celebration of resilience and rock ‘n’ roll.
