American Idol went full rock last night, opening with Carrie Underwood and Billy Idol tearing into “Rebel Yell,” backed by Steve Stevens.
It was Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night, with Idol among this year’s inductees — alongside Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, and Oasis — ahead of the ceremony November 14th.
Carrie leaned into the theme too, rocking a leather-and-chains look for the high-energy opener.
