Teen solves centuries-old math problem
MOSCOW, June 6 (UPI) -- Iconic British punk rocker Billy Idol hung out in Moscow with fellow Harley riders before giving his first-ever Russian performance, observers say.
After flying into the Russian capital Friday appearing tired, Idol, born William Michael Albert Broad, and three of his guests settled into Harley-Davidsons provided by his hosts, the Night Wolves Motorcycle Club, and headed off to their hangout, the club Sexton, RIA Novosti reported.
Once at their hangout, Idol, 55, summoned enough energy to trade verses with the Russian band Malstrem and didn't leave the club until about 4 a.m. Saturday, allegedly leaving younger rockers amazed how the older man could party so hard when he was scheduled to give a concert that night at Luzhniki Stadium in downtown Moscow, the news agency said.
Idol is one of the "survivors" of the rock era, having gone through a motorcycle accident that severely injured him, drug overdoses and health issues, RIA Novosti said.
Despite that, Idol still tours, taking his philosophy with him: "Rock isn't art, it's the way ordinary people talk."
