Billy Idol, Backstage, Los Angeles, 2008

The way Bryan Adams captures that backstage quiet before the chaos is perfect—you can feel Billy Idol’s stillness in the frame. The print quality really brings out the texture of the lighting and shadow. It’s already the centerpiece of my music room wall.

The black-and-white grain in this Bryan Adams shot gives it a raw, backstage feel that makes you almost hear the crowd noise. It’s framed so intimately you can see the weariness and cool in Billy’s eyes—exactly what I wanted to hang in my study.
