Billy Idol, Boston, Massachusetts, 1982, Seated Portrait

Michael Grecco photographed Billy Idol in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1982, during the period in which Idol was emerging from the British punk scene into an international solo career. The seated interior portrait places the musician outside the performance setting, emphasizing his presence as a figure within the early-1980s punk and new wave archive. The work belongs to Grecco's broader documentation of artists onstage, backstage, and in informal settings around the Boston music scene.
