Billy Joel Surprises Shocked New Yorkers With Impromptu Concert On The Sidewalk: Watch
Normally, people have to pay hundreds of dollars to see Billy Joel play in New York City. However, residents of Huntington, Long Island, were treated to a performance by the living legend for free last month. While Billy, 71, was riding his motorcycle around that part of New York, he spotted a wooden piano discarded on the sidewalk. Because he had nothing else going on – and he’s Billy Joel – the Piano Man began playing Shelton Brooks’ 1917 ragtime hit, “Darktown Strutters’ Ball.” Thankfully, an onlooker captured this impromptu concert. The video, dated June 26, was shared online and quickly went viral.
