Billy Morrison (born 9 February 1969) is a British guitarist and singer-songwriter, who plays guitar with Billy Idol, performs with the Los Angeles–based cover band Royal Machines, and fronts the hard rock act Circus Diablo.
He was previously a member of Camp Freddy. He has also toured with the Cult.
The Gibson Les Paul Billy Morrison signature model guitar was released in January 2011 at the NAMM Show.[5] Designed by Morrison, the guitar is one of the few Les Paul guitars to feature a white headstock. Morrison also contributed to a video blog on the Gibson website.
With Billy Idol drummer Erik Eldenius, Morrison wrote and released his second full solo album, God Shaped Hole, in 2015. The album features five original songs and five cover songs.[8] The song "Gods" was written by Morrison and Ozzy Osbourne, who also sang the track.
Morrison also co-hosts a monthly talk show called "Ozzy Speaks" on Sirius with Osbourne.
As a longtime collector of contemporary art, Morrison owns pieces by Andy Warhol, Jean Michel Basquiat, Damien Hirst, Keith Haring and many others.
Beginning in 2013, Morrison added painting to his list of creative accomplishments, culminating in four sold out art shows in the past five years. A painting from his Butterfly series hangs in the U.S. Capitol.
