NEW YORK (AP) — Billy Joel will make “The Last Play at Shea” in a final concert at Shea Stadium on July 16.The Piano Man will perform the night after baseball’s All-Star game at Yankee Stadium, the Mets announced Thursday.
“It’s an honor to help throw Shea the ultimate concert farewell party,” said Joel, 58. “As a sports fan and a music lover, I will always have a place for Shea Stadium in my heart. I thank the Mets for giving me and my fans a chance to rock Shea Stadium one last time for the ages.”
A new stadium, Citi Field, is to open for the 2009 season.
I thought Billy Joel was dead?
No, just his career.
This would be news if it was the beatles.
Remember when the Beatles played there? They were in their early twenties. Now our pop icons are old men. Sigh. And they wonder why kids aren't interested in baseball. They should say goodbye with Hannah Montana.
Hey, good for him! Let's just hope he's catching a ride with someone else.
