The Vampire Lestat’s Cover of Billy Idol’s “Dancing With Myself” Now Available on Digital Platforms
Lestat De Lioncourt’s cover of Billy Idol’s “Dancing With Myself” is now available on major digital music platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.
Released by AMC Global Media and Lakeshore Records, this marks the third official single from AMC’s The Vampire Lestat, featuring Sam Reid as Lestat. It follows the recently launched tracks “All Fall Down,” featured during the opening titles, and “Long Face,” both composed by Daniel Hart and performed by Reid.
The latest chapter in Rice’s Immortal Universe follows Reid’s portrayal of the world’s first immortal rock star as he embarks on an electrifying multi-city tour. However, he is haunted by “muses” from his rebellious past. As Lestat and his band’s popularity soar, so does his influence over both vampires and humans, drawing attention amid the Great Conversion, which signifies a significant increase in the vampire population.
The most recent trailer for the series showcases Lestat performing “Dancing With Myself.”
