musicians: Celebs Rumors

in a video from the concert.The Fleetwood Mac musician explained that she was staying in a “fabulous castle” in Glasgow for her concert on July 6.“We get here days early because we want to be here for a few days,” she said. “I finally just looked at my assistant – it was like two in the morning – and I said, ‘I think we need to go to emergency’.

Madison Square Garden, Billy Joel sang about “The River of Dreams” —the doo-wop-meets-Afro-pop ditty that became his last Top 10 single to date in 1993.It was easily the cheesiest song of the night, but hey, a hit is a hit.On this special Thursday evening, when Joel was saying goodbye to his house after 10 years, 104 sold-out shows and 1.9 million tickets scanned, it took on a sentimental significance for the 75-year-old local legend, who described the residency as “a dream come true.”Indeed, the Bronx-born, Long Island-bred Piano Man reminisced about going to the old Madison Square Garden — located further uptown in Manhattan on 8th Avenue between 49th and 50th streets — “when I was, like, a 4-year-old to see the circus and watch Gene Autry sing ‘Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.’“And now,” he marveled, “here I am doing this.”The resident “Big Shot” — sorry to the Knicks and the Rangers — was pinching himself that he has ruled the big daddy of all arenas, even without basically not releasing any new pop music since last millennium. (Save for the great new piano ballad “Turn the Lights Back On,” which he dropped five months ago but didn’t perform last night.)Let that sink in for a second.But after saying “Welcome to Madison Square Garden” for the umpteenth time as if he owned the place — and really, he does — Joel announced what we already knew: “This is our last night in the residency that we’ve been doing here.”Moans and groans from his ever-adoring audience were met with: “I know, I know, we don’t wanna go either, but it’s time.

“Blues Brothers: The Arc of Gratitude,” Belushi responded to criticism the band received as White men occupying spaces in the blues culture, which was predominantly spearheaded by Black artists.Soho Weekly News music critic Steve Bloom in 1979 shared headlines with Belushi, some stating, “Can Belushi sing the whites?” and “Why the Brothers ain’t got no blues.”“It’s just weird, you know?” Belushi said. “Why would I do these things? The people watching me understand why I do it, and the band members do.

Billy Joel’s historic monthly residency at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night when the finality of it all really sunk in.There was when he sang that it’s “some kind of miracle that I survived” in “This Is the Time”— one of the few surprises, but a song he did in dedication to his wife Alexis — as if maybe he didn’t expect to still be here a decade ago when the residency started on Jan. 27, 2014.There was when his 8-year-old daughter Della Rose hammed it up to “My Life” while her 6-year-old sister Remy Anne, in a matching striped dress, looked bored underneath her pink headphones — after Daddy’s banner for his 150th career MSG show was raised above the stage following a tribute by Jimmy Fallon.“Wow, I guess it’s her life now,” said Joel.And, perhaps most surprisingly, there was when he bellowed “I’m movin out!” in his 1978 hit “Movin’ Out.” Out of nowhere, that consistent crowd favorite hit differently.

Billy Joel at the beginning of “New York State of Mind,” his 1976 saloon song that would become a hometown anthem for the ages — and a local crowd favorite during his 10-year monthly residency at Madison Square Garden that ends on Thursday night.Unhappy with his contract with Family Productions — the label that released his 1971 debut album, “Cold Spring Harbor” — the Bronx-born, Long Island-bred crooner hopped a cross-country flight from New York to Los Angeles.And the big move paid off: After making his getaway in 1972, becoming a resident lounge lizard in La La Land, Joel recorded his second and third albums, 1973’s “Piano Man” and 1974’s “Streetlife Serenade” under a new deal with Columbia Records.But you can take the Piano Man out of New York, but you can’t take New York out of the Piano Man.With his fourth album, 1976’s “Turnstiles,” Joel said goodbye to Hollywood — in both song and geography. And his return east inspired his now-legendary love letter to his city.“‘New York State of Mind,’ I wrote actually while I was on a Greyhound bus on my way back from a gig somewhere,” Joel told SiriusXM in 2016.

waving the Piano Man goodbye Thursday night for the first time since 2014. He will hold the venue’s record for most performances after tonight at 150.Last-minute sales are in the high hundreds and thousands to see the pride of Long Island perform one more time, for the longest time.“We wanted to make it special not only for Billy but also for the fans who have made his residency so successful,” Josephine Vaccarello, MSG Entertainment executive vice president of live events, who oversaw Joel’s decade-long stay, told The Post.The most tasteful of the celebrations begins with some quite literal “Scenes From an Italian Restaurant.”MSG has converted concourse space outside of section 113 to red and white checked cloth tables, plus a juke box, with a menu that will have you eating like a big shot.

10-year residency at Madison Square Garden draws to a close on Thursday in New York City. Over the past decade, Joel, now 75, has played 104 sold-out shows and sold 1.9 million tickets, becoming synonymous with the world-famous arena like the Knicks and Rangers.Throughout his storied career and into his residency, Joel has upheld a distinctive practice: he does not sell front row tickets to his shows.

“the definitive Billy Joel song” on the red carpet at this year’s Grammys, the man himself told E! News that it was “And So It Goes.”“In every heart there is a room/A sanctuary safe and strong/To heal the wounds from lovers past/Until a new one comes along,” croons the Big Apple’s “Big Shot” at the beginning of the heartbreaking piano ballad that closes his 1999 album “Storm Front.”And for 10 years of Joel’s historic monthly residency at his hometown arena, Madison Square Garden has been that room, that sanctuary, that place to heal your wounds — and maybe believe again in the promise of a new love coming along.But after 104 sold-out shows, 1.9 million tickets scanned, and countless hearts and faiths restored by the power of his Piano Man magic, Joel, 75, will be movin’ out of the Garden on Thursday night with the final show of a decade-long lovefest that began on Jan. 27, 2014.Fittingly, the finale (airing on SiriusXM’s The Billy Joel Channel at a later date) will be the 150th concert of the Bronx-born, Long Island-bred legend’s career at his local spot — which had become his house as much as it was for the Knicks or the Rangers.He has been, no doubt, a one-man franchise.But as he bittersweetly sang 25 years ago, “And so it goes, and so it goes/And so will you soon, I suppose.”As Joel says goodbye to his MSG residency — a gig, an affair to remember — we look back on the top 10 New York moments from our hometown hero’s iconic career.Having moved to the Levittown section of Hicksville, New York when he was just 1, Joel named his debut LP, 1971’s “Cold Spring Harbor,” after one of his Long Island stomping grounds, and the album cover features a portrait of the young artist on Harbor Road in the hamlet.
