Singer Billy Joel is recovering from a double hip replacement, his publicist said on Thursday."Billy Joel is doing extremely well following bilateral hip replacement and will be back at his Long Island (New York) home by the end of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend," Joel's publicist Claire Mercuri said in a statement.
Grammy Award-winner Joel, 61, is the singer of hit songs "Piano Man," "My Life," and "Just the Way You Are," among others, and has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide.
He released "Billy Joel: The Hits" last week to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his first solo album.
There'll be no holding him back now; Bionic Billy! So here, for no other reason than because we can, is our all-time favourite Billy Joel track ...

Had the pleasure of flying up to Auckland last year to witness my Messiah Eric Clapton in concert...He's still looking and sounding incredible, despite a harrowing past of drug and alcohol abuse. Ditto the (surviving) Pink Floyd members, all appear to be less ravaged than your average Jo? Go figure
despite the fun and longevity Suz, drugs are still bad.

Agreed Anon, but some of us have indulged over the years, probably to a much lesser extent than various 60's idols, and yet how they're still standing at their advanced ages is a mystery. Let's hope they keep it up for many years to come! God knows their wannabe usurpers aren't worthy to be mentioned in the same sentence..and now I know I'm sounding like an old fart! :)
yeah, was trying to be funny - shouldn't have tried it straight eh!
hahahoho
Ooops, my mistake!
Think I've lost my sense of humour along with numerous IQ points...that"ll teach me!
Be kind to yourself Suz; it's Saturday, and it's been a big week!
