He’s a mega- fan with a rebel yell!

And for two years, Michael Henrichsen has been pursuing his dream of having Billy Idol perform at his birthday bash.

The Seattle-base man started a website; he got B and C-list stars involved; and he contacted Idol’s people– constantly!

And while many of those around him felt the project was going nowhere, Henrichsen never gave up.

Now his efforts are being rewarded with Idol set to perform at his 26th birthday bash this Friday.

As Idol says: “The people of the world have spoken! The dream will become reality …”

“It’s gonna be pretty much the coolest night ever,” says Henrichsen, whose actual birthday was Monday.

Watch this awe-inspiring video below… it has to be one of the coolest clips of the week.
