British rocker Billy Idol rocked The Pearl in the Palms last night and shared the stage with guitarist Steve Stevens, who was clad in all red. The former member of Generation X and MTV video icon, at age 54, still sports his trademark snarl, leather and blond locks and impressive six-pack abs.

Grammy Award nominee Idol’s hits over the years include “Rebel Yell,” “Dancing With Myself,” “White Wedding,” “Cradle of Love,” “To Be a Lover,” “Eyes Without a Face,” “Sweet Sixteen” and his No. 1 remake of Tommy James and The Shondells’ 1968 hit “Mony Mony” in 1987.
