BIlly Joel fans in the UK will be overjoyed to learn the musician will make his live return in 2023.
The singer-songwriter of songs including “Piano Man”, “We Didn’t Start the Fire” and “Uptown Girl” has not played in the UK since June 2018.
These days, Joel almost exclusively plays in the US, but has decided to play in London to mark the 10th anniversary of BST Hyde Park.
Joel’s performance on 7 July will serve as his only European date. It arrives one day before friend and collaborator Bruce Springsteen plays with the E Street Band, which will no doubt leave revellers expecting some form of duet.
The announcement comes shortly before the release of Billy Joel: Live At The Yankee Stadium, a film made to celebrate the musician’s 50 years in the business.

The Inbetweeners star James Buckley is continuing to take Cameo by storm in the UK.
The comedy actor joined the video platform in March 2020, where he swiftly gained popularity for his willingness to send personalised videos quoting his famous catchphrases from the sitcom.
Buckley, who played Jay Cartwright on the Channel 4 show, regularly responds to requests for clips, with reports in 2021 revealing that he was responding to as many as 37 requests a day.
At the time, company co-founder Martin Blencowe said that actor “takes it very seriously”, adding: “He’s ready to do the work.”
It seems this has paid off following reports that Buckley has now become the first non-us celebrity to make 1m from the platform.
Confirming the report, Blencowe commented on why Buckley continues to be so successful on the app.

If you were lucky enough to stay tuned to Showtime following last month’s Season 5 Dexter finale, you were in for a treat when the cable network previewed the first 20 minutes of its newest drama, Shameless.
The drama stars William H. Macy as a drunken single father of a working-class family in Chicago but the real reason to tune in — aside from the all-around greatness of the first three episodes — is Emmy Rossum.
Adapted from the long-running British series of the same name, the U.S. format follows Frank Gallagher’s (Macy) six children as they make do when dad is often passed out drunk. Rossum plays Fiona, the eldest of the Gallagher kids and the parental unit of the family. The role is a serious departure for the actress best known for playing Christine in the 2004 big-screen adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera.

Tina and Chandi took to the Britain’s Got Talent stage tonight and it was as if they already knew that Simon Cowell was looking for a dog winner this year.
After a bit of ballet, a bit of the conga and some dancing with a broomstick it was clear that the judges loved this talented pooch.
Piers Morgan exclaimed:
“I wish Simon Cowell was here, he would have loved you! Chandi, you are the most talented dog we have seen on the show. You are an accomplished dancer……..I will give you two yes’, one from me and one from Simon!”
So with four yeses Chandi sails through to the next round….but can Tina put another routine together in time for the live semi finals?

Simon Cowell has previously said that he wants a dog to win this year’s series of Britain’s Got Talent and we think that he had dancing dog Chandi in mind.
The talented pooch was rescued from the pound by her owner Tina Humphrey at just four months old and has before competed in Crufts and on BBC TV show ‘When Will I Be Famous.’ We do find it a bit strange that Chandi’s owner Tina professes to be a music teacher but doesn’t mention the fact that she is one of the UK’s most experienced dog trainers!
The pair danced at a ballet bar for their Talent audition, joined together to do the conga and Chandi even held a broomstick for her owner as she span around her. The canine act impressed the judging panel with Piers Morgan exclaiming:
