It’s been over a year now since Billy Joel last played live. Last March the singer songwriter announced that he had to undergo surgery for the brain condition Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus - which affects memory, balance and movement - and was cancelling all scheduled dates.
With no news yet whether he’ll be able to make a full return to the stage, a tribute concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall has been organised for March 12. The ‘Music Of Billy Joel’ evening will feature his entire touring band as well as Rufus Wainwright, Rob Thomas, Tanya Tucker, Wyclef Jean, and Mary Chapin Carpenter, amongst others.
