Billy Joel is out of action. His last show of the year for Madison Square Garden has been postponed until June 2023.

In a statement Billy said, “I’m disappointed to share that I’m under doctor’s orders for vocal rest due to a viral infection so unfortunately, I must postpone my Monday, December 19th concert at Madison Square Garden to June. I’m so sorry to let you know so close to show day, but I was hoping to be closer to a full recovery by now. Sadly, that hasn’t happened.

I look forward to seeing you in the New Year”.

The Billy Joel Madison Square Garden show on December 19 has been moved to June 2 but even that is not 100% confirmed That date will also be bumped if it interferes with playoffs. “All tickets purchased for the December 19, 2022 concert will be honored on Friday, June 2, 2023 and will not need to be exchanged. Please note, the June 2nd performance is subject to change if it conflicts with a playoff game”.

Billy performed in Melbourne, Australia on 10 December. That will now be his last show of the year.
