-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

On this day in 1985, the re-release of the Billy Idol single “White Wedding” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #52 (July 13)
Originally released in 1982, and one of his most recognizable tracks, the second single from Billy Idol’s self-titled debut LP after Gen X split, went to #1 in Canada, #5 in New Zealand, and #9 in Australia.
In the US, it reached #36 on the Billboard Hot 100, and didn’t chart in the UK until its re-release there in 1985, when it was re-issued to promote the “Vital Idol” remix album.
The music video, featuring Idol attending a goth-style wedding, is one of his best-known.
The bride is played by Perri Lister, Idol's real-life girlfriend at the time, and she’s also one of the three leather-clad dancers.
