Will There Ever Be Another Billy Joel Album?

Not many solo artists have had as much success as Billy Joel, with hits in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. A new Billy Joel album release was always an event. He is the sixth best selling artist in the US and has won a Grammy award six times. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999. A prolific songwriter, he has recorded classical music too, which was an early interest for him when he was learning the piano. Nicknamed the Piano Man, it's a good thing for music that he gave up his successful amateur boxing career as a teenager. Fans eagerly await news of a new Billy Joel album one day. Should it arrive, it will be an event once again. Joel will always be respected for his constant standard of songwriting ability and musicianship, whether he makes a comeback or not.
