In his revealing new documentary Billy Idol Should Be Dead, premiering at Tribeca, the punk rock legend uncovers a startling personal revelation — he is the father of a long‑lost son named Brant, born from a brief encounter during his 1985 Rebel Yell tour. The discovery came when his daughter Bonnie took a 23andMe DNA test as a Christmas gift, uncovering Brant's identity and prompting questions that led to a heartfelt reunion.

Idol warmly welcomed Brant into the family fold alongside his children Willem and Bonnie. The doc also delves into his turbulent past — including near-fatal drug overdoses and a devastating 1990 motorcycle crash — in a candid, unfiltered portrait of resilience and redemption.

Cristina Scabbia — the captivating voice and co-frontwoman of Italian gothic metal pioneers Lacuna Coil — exudes timeless allure and power in any photo. Imagine her with that harmonious blend of sultry elegance and commanding presence: deep, expressive eyes framed by sleek, dark hair, her gaze carrying both mystery and intent.

In a stage shot, Cristina might be leaning forward at the mic, her posture graceful yet assertive. A tailored leather jacket or corset-style top could accentuate her silhouette, while subtle adornments—like layered chains, metallic accents, or lace—echo the duality of gothic romance and rock‑metal grit she channels in every performance. Her lips, painted a bold crimson, steal focus as they part mid-verse, capturing the raw, emotive contrast between her lush melodic tone and the deeper tones that drive Lacuna Coil’s signature sound.

Stage lighting bathes her in moody hues—violet, teal, and amber—casting dramatic shadows and highlighting the textures of her attire. Maybe a single spotlight picks out droplets of sweat on her forehead, a testament to the intensity she pours into the music. You can almost sense her heartbeat in the moment, each lyric resonating with audiences caught between reflection and catharsis.

Off-stage or in a posed portrait, Cristina’s sophistication shines through. A serene smile plays at her lips; a soft curl cascades down one shoulder. The backdrop—perhaps a smoky haze or architectural stone—underscores her gothic roots while her confident stance affirms her stature as a rock‑metal icon.

This photo isn’t just a portrait; it’s an invitation into Cristina Scabbia’s world—brooding yet beautiful, haunting yet heartfelt—where voice, style, and spirit intertwine in one unforgettable presence.
