ONLY 3 ARTISTS IN HISTORY HAVE RECEIVED THIS AWARD — BILLY IDOL JUST BECAME THE THIRD. Monday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Billy Idol closed the 52nd American Music Awards with something no one expected — his FIRST ever AMAs performance.

At 70, rocking a purple shirt and black leather blazer, he stepped on stage with longtime guitarist Steve Stevens and delivered a medley of "Eyes Without a Face" and "Dancing With Myself" that had the entire arena on their feet. But what hit harder than the music was his speech.

Presented the Lifetime Achievement Award by Leon Thomas, Idol got quiet for a moment. Then he said: "When I started in punk rock in 1976, we thought it may only last six months." He paused. "I've been able to live my dream. It's really because of all of you."

Only Diana Ross and Rod Stewart received this honor before him. And in November — the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is waiting.
