Idol's solo career began with the Chrysalis Records EP titled Don't Stop in 1981, which included the Generation X song " Dancing with Myself", originally recorded for their last album Kiss Me Deadly, and a cover of Tommy James & the Shondells' song " Mony Mony". Together they worked with Phil Feit and Steve Missal. Idol's 'bad boy' image was recognized and this worked well with the flashy glam rock style of his new partner on guitar, Steve Stevens. Idol moved to New York in 1981, and became a solo artist working with ex- Kiss manager, Bill Aucoin. Generation X signed to Chrysalis Records and released three albums and performed in the 1980 film, D.O.A., before disbanding.

In October 1975, Idol went to Sussex University, to pursue an English degree and lived on campus ( East Slope) but left after year one (1976). Idol (rather William Broad) also attended Worthing High School for Boys in West Sussex.
In 1971 the family moved to Bromley, southeastern London, where Idol attended Ravensbourne School for Boys. The family returned to the UK four years later with Idol and a younger child Jane (who had been born in the US), settling in Dorking, Surrey. In 1958, when Idol was two years old, his parents moved to Patchogue, on Long Island, New York, US. It was the whole sort of - everyone was doing it too - it was fun, you know?" He goes on to say the name "didn't really ever backfire, only with the stupid people who took it seriously" It was a 'double thing' not just a poke at the superstar-like people. In an interview on 21 November 1983 Idol also tells us that the name "was a bit of a goof, but also part of the old English school of rock. The name Billy Idol was inspired by a schoolteacher's description of Broad as "idle". Idol was born in Stanmore, Middlesex, England.
