Billy Joel has made it clear that ending his monthly residency at Madison Square Garden later this month will free him up to play other venues in and around New York City.
Appearing on NBC’s Sunday TODAY this weekend he says, “We can play stadiums. Yankee Stadium, Giants Stadium, Citi Field, where the Mets play, so there’s plenty of that lined up. I’m not going to stop doing shows. That’s what I do.
“We have a whole schedule laid out into 2025, where we’re going to be playing.”
And, despite turning 75 in May, he has no plans to retire.
“What else am I going to do? Stop doing shows and sit around, and watch TV, and turn into a vegetable? No. I don’t want to do that."
Billy wraps up his 10-year monthly residency on July 25th.
