Billy Idol has released a video to accompany his song “Save Me Now.”

The video was directed by Thomas Kirk who has previously worked with Muse amongst others.

Says Kirk of the new clip: “I went for a concept which very much took the lyrics of ‘Save Me Now’ and turned them into a surreal story that I felt was as true to the very visual lyrics as possible. I loved the image of a bruised cop and a priest trapped inside a car.”

“Save Me Now” was released as a single last month and is lifted from Idol’s most recent album Kings & Queens Of The Underground.
