Billy Joel

One of rock and pop's most enduring voices, Billy Joel built a decades-long career on piano-driven songwriting that blends rock energy with melodic sophistication and a gift for vivid, working-class storytelling. His catalogue spans anthemic rock, blue-eyed soul, and introspective ballads, earning him a place among the best-selling music artists of all time and a string of Grammy Awards including the Grammy Legend Award.

Joel achieved remarkable commercial and critical success from the mid-1970s through the 1990s, releasing a run of albums that produced some of the most recognisable songs in popular music. He stopped releasing new pop material in the 1990s but continued performing live for many years, drawing enormous stadium crowds across North America and beyond.
