Billy Idol is such a good man. His stage persona is just that. He's always loved his kids and taken care of them and now he has a beautiful grandaughter and another grandchild on the way, I read. He certainly has lived and continues to live a charmed life.

[@santisanti8386]

Agree, but his stage self is awesome as well ❤️

[@anaclarasilva8976]

Fiquei emocionada em ver Billy idol como um vovó carinhoso e desejando tudo de feliz e bom para sua netinha fofa e linda

[@soundvision58]

Read his autobiography. In it, he described the relationship he had with his children.

[@JTRocks4Ever]

@@soundvision58 I'm reading it now. He wasn't the best dad when they were little, but he's trying to make up for it now. He's very close to his daughter.

Grandpaps' little girl 💖 Absolutely adorable, you can see that she means a lot to him

[@bsbznumber1fan]

You can tell Billy loves being a grandpa his smile says it all. Congrats to Billy on becoming a grandpa that's amazing news. And poppy well she's just precious. And if she was tapping her toe to rebel yell and seven nation army well she's already got great taste in music😀 I'm a huge Billy Idol fan and i clicked immediately when i saw this.

[@eugenb.8448]

As a grandfather I fully agree. He says it perfectly. Seeing the world through the new eyes of a grandchild is wondrous. It makes me so happy and relaxed to see the joy of discovering a child has. So fortunate to be able to experience it.

All the exciting times of being a rockstar, and he seems most excited about his little granddaughter. So lovely.

[@denisek292]

Loved watching his videos on MTV in the ‘80s. Now he’s “rocking” his granddaughter. Wow…time flies!

[@lorishiversdogmom]

Imagine having Billy Idol as your grandpa. I'd love it. He's a wonderful happy doting grandpa and I'm happy for him. I think Poppy has inherited her grandad's love for music. She's such a beautiful little girl. I like how he says.... You let them do what they want to do. He's got the right attitude. Let them be themselves and discover life. He's awesome!

NOW he understands what joy is.

[@juliepetersen7974]

I’ve been a fan of his since the 80s, but I just saw him live for the first time last month. He puts on an awesome show!! While there was no encore, he did return to the stage to thank the audience for reminding him how much he loves performing, after not being able to do so because of Covid. I was front row, and I could tell he genuinely has a big heart.❤️‍🔥

[@denisesayer6179]

Billy looks amazing and little Poppy Rebel is the apple of his eye. Such a lovely video I hope Billy and his family have many happy years together. From Denise in the UK. 🇬🇧 ❤️

Billy was my idol when I was 18. He convinced me to be just myself, not follow the norms of society; but to express yourself in your own uniqueness. I am a grandfather now, and still a rebel free minded individual. Love you mate.
