Billy Idol Has Surgery to Fix 'Malformed' Foot After Motorcycle Accident

The singer tweeted that he went under the knife to "correct malformation of foot due to hitting a truck tire in road a year ago ."
"Hit foot on shredded truck tire causing a hairline fracture a year a 1/2 ago and it was calcifying causing malform pain," he added. Now we weren't exactly sure what it could possibly mean to shred your foot on a tire in the road. Perhaps he was dancing with himself?
Idol clarified his cause of injury and also chronicled his use of pain meds, writing, "Motorcycling at around 60 mph when i hit the tire in the road. meanwhile tonight I'm crushing one of these percocet pills and shooting it!"
He also added, "Nodded out woke up in a pile of my own vomit! This is like the old days!" This doesn't exactly sound promising for a former addict, but it seems like Billy's getting by: "The pain in my foot has now resided so no more pain pills boo hoo but bollocks I've been there & (over) did that!"

"Now we weren't exactly sure what it could possibly mean to shred your foot on a tire in the road." - Are you stupid? He didn't say he "shred his foot", he hit a shredded tire! Have you never seen a shredded tire on the road? They are really dangerous if you hit one on a motor bike, (which is what probably happened to Idol).

Have you never seen a shredded tire on the road. Clue: tires rip apart when they come off trucks. They are really dangerous if you hit one on a motor bike, and it's as scary as hell when they come off right in front of you and hit your car. Idol has a motorbike (or did back in the 1990s) probably hit the debris.
