POP/ROCK - April 18, 1990

Idol Injury: Billy Idol’s broken right leg isn’t healing properly and he’s heading back to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles today for more surgery. The rock singer will have a steel rod implanted in what will be his fifth operation since breaking the leg in a Feb. 6 motorcycle accident. An Idol spokeswoman said he probably will be hospitalized for three to five days and then will rest at home before starting work in May on Oliver Stone’s movie “The Doors.” Idol recently taped a video for “Cradle of Love” from his upcoming album in which director David Fincher managed to hide the broken leg.
