Billy Morrison is a British guitarist and singer who plays guitar with Billy Idol and performs with the Los Angeles-based cover band Royal Machines. Morrison previously played with Camp Freddy and fronted the hard rock act Circus Diablo. He has also been a member of The Cult.
Morrison was born in the UK and is an only child. Early in his career, he was a member of the indie rock band Into a Circle. Consistent abuse of drugs led to a period of inactivity until he recovered and formed Stimulator in 1995. The band signed a recording contract with Geffen Records and recorded an album, but the company never released it. In 2008, Morrison released the album under his own name, stating "When I read about Tunecore, and when the business started to lend itself to home releases – the indie, DIY approach – I wanted to finally release it. All the hard copies sold out, and it still does good business on iTunes. I would call that a success."
In 2001, at the request of Billy Duffy, Morrison joined The Cult as the band's bass player. Although he primarily plays rhythm guitar, he enjoyed the idea of playing bass for such a seminal rock band. He toured with The Cult for more than a year, which included playing shows in the UK and Japan and touring with Aerosmith in the U.S.
