Billy Idol: My 'unromantic' drug experience put kids off

Billy Idol says his children have been put off drugs after seeing his 'unromantic' experience with them.

The 'White Wedding' singer, who was hooked on crack cocaine for 15 years, said his son was a "real ale drinker" instead.

He also told Afternoon Edition about why being involved in a motorcycle accident and having children encouraged him to give up drugs.
