Billy Idol, 69, shows no signs of slowing down.
The '80s punk-pop icon—known for his signature platinum blonde spiky hair and requisite sneer—is currently on tour. The Rebel Yell singer was once famous for flashing his toned abs onstage. In recent footage shared to social media from a May 2025 show at the Budweiser Arena in Toronto, Canada, Idol bares (mostly) all again—much to the delight of his devoted legion of fans.In the video, the energetic singer can be seen performing his 1984 hit Flesh for Fantasy. While the crowd sings along, Idol dances to the song's iconic bassline, which thumps like a heartbeat. He then turns his back to the audience and dramatically slips off his shirt, slowly replacing it with a new look—to the loud approval of his swooning fans.
'He's still got it!' shared one enthusiastic fan. Another wrote, 'Still a legend.'
The on-stage strip-down didn't go unnoticed by Idol's fans either. One wrote, 'I saw this live too and was LOUD when the shirt came off.'While a few commenters were less than diplomatic about Idol's aging appearance, we're with the hundreds of fans who were impressed by how well his music, voice, and stage presence have held up over time.
Billy Idol is making his 60s look good—and we love to see it.
