'80s Rock Icon Opens Up About Overdose That Almost Killed Him

'80s rock icon Billy Idol is baring all in his upcoming documentaryBilly Idol Should Be Dead. In the two-hour doc, which premieres on Sky Arts in the U.K. on March 26, the 70-year-old "White Wedding" singer recounts the high and low points of his epic rock and roll lifestyle — including a near-death experience he had one night in 1984.

After a three-year stint in the U.S., Idol went back home to London in 1984 to perform on the legendary British music show Top of the Pops. It was every musician's dream.
