Dec. 18 (UPI) — Rock ‘n’ roll icon Billy Joel has canceled Monday’s show at New York’s Madison Square Garden. “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 until June,” the 73-year-old “Piano Man” singer tweeted Sunday.
“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.”
This would have been the 86th concert of Joel’s monthly MSG residency.
He recently announced he and Stevie Nicks will headline a series of shows, kicking off on March 10 in Los Angeles and continuing through September with stops in Nashville, Philadelphia and other cities.
