Billy Joel appears optimistic that the pandemic won’t block live shows by year’s end.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honoree is resuming his monthly residency at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 5. He has scheduled monthly dates at the iconic New York City arena through April.
Joel began his monthly residency in January 2014, but has been on hiatus because of the pandemic. He has played more than 100 shows at Madison Square Garden during the course of his career.
The “Piano Man” also has hopes of playing a few ballparks this summer, including a previously announced gig at Fenway Park in Boston on Aug. 4.
