Billy Idol: Perri Lister
built 605 days ago
In 1989, following his breakup with Lister, Idol found his way to Thailand. Idol claimed that he could get any drug he wanted over there, and had many women at his disposal. Newspapers said that Idol left his suites at three deluxe hotels in Thailand in shambles during his visit, with damage estimated at more than $20,000. Idol first checked in at the Oriental Hotel in central Bangkok, where carpets and a television set were among the ruined items. He paid $3,200 in damages before moving on to another hotel. Idol was eventually ejected from Bangkok with the help of the army after refusing to vacate a hotel penthouse where a three-week drug-and-sex spree had racked up a bill of about $250,000.

"White Wedding" sparked a bit of controversy over the wedding ring Idol places on Perri Lister's finger. The ring was intended to look sharp and cut Perri's finger as Idol slid it on. MTV edited that portion of the video out.
