WITH A REBEL YELL, TWO-YEAR-OLD POPPY UPSTAGES HER EIGHTIES IDOL GRANDAD
HE HAS been famous for almost 50 years but Billy Idol was nearly upstaged by his granddaughter when he received a Hollywood Walk of Fame star last week.
Luckily Idol, 67, dotes on two-year-old Poppy Rebel, who sported a black dress and heart-shaped shades, and displayed a rock’n’roll attitude (she did the ‘Wednesday dance’ from the Tim Burton series) her grandad would be proud of.
Rebel Yell star Idol, who grew up in Bromley, was famous for being a punk with a history of wild behaviour and drug issues. But he is a softie where family are concerned. During lockdown he was filmed playing Baby Shark for Poppy — on the xylophone. Poppy’s mum is BonStar nie Blue, his daughter by Linda Mathis.
