Andy Black dyes hair blond to support Billy Idol's potential Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination
A far cry from his characteristic dark locks, Andy Biersack (A.K.A. Black) has dyed his hair blond during the last leg of his current solo tour.
Why? Biersack is symbolically supporting his friend and inspiration Billy Idol to get nominated for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction this year. Check out tweets from Andy's dad and arguably No. 1 fan Chris below, along with Biersack performing Billy Idol's “Rebel Yell” with his band Black Veil Brides at the 2015 APMAs.

An artist becomes eligible to be inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of their first record. Billy Idol debuted as a solo artist in 1982, 34 years ago, with his self-titled album. Before that, he was part of punk band Generation X, which released their first record 38 years ago, in 1978.

BVB Army, @BillyIdol has been eligible for induction into @rock_hall for 20 + years, but, despite being a true legend he is still not there.

As you may know, @andyblack wanted to do something to remind younger rock fans that @BillyIdol is not in the @rock_hall and he should be.

You may also know that BVB and Andy Black have covered a few @BillyIdol songs over the years. Andy's a huge fan and considers Billy a friend
