The “Just The Way You Are” singer, 76, recalled an instance in which he was knocked unconscious by his father after putting his own spin on Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” during piano practice as a child. Howard, an accomplished classical pianist in his own right, required that all songs be performed as they were originally written.

The "Piano Man" singer is set to appear on the 'Club Random' podcast next week, with a video clip from the interview released on Friday.

Well known for playing shows filled with a fan-pleasing repertoire, songsmith Billy Joel called out one huge rock band for allegedly not playing the hits.

He didn’t see the film until it was finished, so he stuck by that, and we took that as permission to tell the real story about Billy Joel.”

The "Piano Man" singer said he got "punched in the nose, which I deserved," after telling his best friend Jon Small that he was seeing his wife, Elizabeth Weber.

Alexa Ray Joel watched the new documentary about her father, 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes,' with mom Christie Brinkley. The film premieres in two parts on July 18 and July 25, on HBO Max.

Billy Joel's initial reaction to the success of "Piano Man" might be surprising, but it's also relatable for any artist.
