Happy Birthday to Billy Joel, who turns 74 today (May 9th)!!! In addition to his ongoing monthly Madison Square Garden residency, Billy Joel has been doing incredible business out on the road with a string of select joint stadium dates with Stevie Nicks.
Back in March, Billy revealed he's been sober for two years. During a chat with The Los Angeles Times, the “Piano Man” was asked about his drinking these days, and admitted, “I stopped a couple of years ago. It wasn’t a big AA kick. I just got to a point where I’d had enough. I didn’t enjoy being completely inebriated, and it probably created more problems in my life than I needed.”
Out now is Billy Joel – Live At The Great American Music Hall – 1975. The album was originally issued back in 2021 as part of the multi-disc Billy Joel – The Vinyl Collection, Vol.1, with the new issue marking its first standalone release.
