\n\tBilly Idol<\/a> released new original song \u201cDying to Live\u201d with collaborator J. Ralph on Friday, a track attached to the rock star\u2019s upcoming documentary Billy Idol Should Be Dead. <\/em><\/p>\n \n\tIdol dropped a video for the song as well, which The Hollywood Reporter <\/em>is <\/em>sharing exclusively first. The video, which is also the documentary\u2019s final sequence, depicts shots of Idol\u2019s life from childhood interspersed with his music<\/a> career and vintage illustrations of the singer. Those seens are met well with Idol\u2019s warm vocal delivery alongside the swelling strings and light piano lines. <\/p>\n \n\tIdol and J. Ralph co-wrote the song alongside Idol\u2019s collaborators Steve Stevens, Tommy English and Joe Janiak. They hope the song will be a contender for a best original song nod in this year\u2019s Oscar race. Billy Idol Should Be Dead <\/em>premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival this past summer and is expected to hit streaming sometime in early 2026. <\/p>\n
