This marks Joel’s first concert to air on a broadcast network. The Grammy winner has had several previous concert specials that aired on pay cable and PBS, including 1990’s Billy Joel: Live at Yankee Stadium.
A native New Yorker, Joel has sold more than 160 million records worldwide across his legendary music career, with signature hits like “Piano Man,” “Just the Way You Are,” “Uptown Girl” and “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999. Joel performed at this month’s Grammy Awards on CBS and also debuted his first new pop single in more than a decade, “Turn the Lights Back On.”
