About Billy Joel
Billy Joel -- born William Martin Joel on May 9, 1949 in the Bronx and raised in Hicksville, Long Island -- is one of the most successful and enduring singer-songwriters in the history of popular music. He began playing piano as a child and worked through a series of bands before launching his solo career in the early 1970s. His 1973 album Piano Man, and its autobiographical title track inspired by his time playing a Los Angeles piano bar, gave him his signature song and his enduring nickname.
Joel's commercial and creative breakthrough came with the 1977 album The Stranger, which produced four hit singles -- Just the Way You Are, Movin' Out, Only the Good Die Young, and She's Always a Woman -- and became one of the best-selling albums of its era. The follow-up albums 52nd Street (the first album to win the Grammy for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal), Glass Houses, The Nylon Curtain, An Innocent Man, and Storm Front cemented his place among the all-time greats.
Across his career, Joel has sold more than 160 million records worldwide, won six Grammy Awards, received the Grammy Legend Award, and been inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. His catalog of hits -- Piano Man, Uptown Girl, We Didn't Start the Fire, New York State of Mind, Vienna, It's Still Rock and Roll to Me, Allentown, and many more -- has made him a permanent fixture of American culture.
As a live performer, Joel has few equals. His concerts have always been built around his warmth, his humor, his storytelling, and a setlist that draws from one of the richest catalogs in popular music. His decade-long monthly residency at Madison Square Garden -- which ran from 2014 into the 2020s -- became one of the most celebrated achievements in the history of live music, with Joel selling out the arena month after month, year after year.
In 2025, Joel shared that he had been diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a treatable condition involving a buildup of fluid in the brain. On his doctor's advice, he stepped away from performing to focus on physical therapy and recovery, postponing and canceling his scheduled concerts. Joel has not announced a retirement, and recent updates on his recovery have been encouraging. Fans worldwide continue to send their support as he focuses on his health.
Billy Joel's influence on American music is immeasurable. Generations of fans have grown up with his songs, and his work continues to reach new listeners through streaming, film and television, and the enduring popularity of his catalog. His standing as one of the defining artists of the rock era is secure, and any return to the stage would be a major and joyously anticipated event.
