Billy Joel falls on the stage!
Billy Joel had a bit of a mishap on stage during his concert at Mohegan Sun in Montville, Connecticut, on February 22. The 75-year-old legend was in the middle of performing his 1980 hit It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me when he suddenly lost his balance and took a fall. It was a heart-stopping moment for fans, but like the pro he is, Joel handled it with grace.
A fan-captured TikTok video caught the unexpected moment—Billy Joel, in full performance mode, twirled his microphone stand before tossing it toward the crowd. But as he moved, he seemed to lose his footing, stumbling and landing on his side before rolling onto his back.
Despite the fall, Joel quickly got back on his feet and continued his performance. He finished the song without missing a beat and even played one more track before wrapping up the night.
Although Billy Joel appeared to be unhurt, the tumble left fans worried. Many took to social media to check in on the music legend, with some expressing concern about his well-being.
Billy Joel’s tumble comes not long after he cancelled a Florida concert in January due to an undisclosed “medical procedure,” as reported by Page Six. The Piano Man is keeping the show going, with his tour set to run through November 2025—and he’s even added new dates.
Billy Joel is gearing up for an epic summer, adding more stops to his tour, including Yankee Stadium, MetLife Stadium, and Citi Field. And he’s not rocking alone—music icons Rod Stewart, Stevie Nicks, and Sting will be joining him at select shows.
Billy Joel is all about that New York energy! Speaking to Billboard, he shared how performing in his home state is always special, saying, “There’s nothing like the energy of the crowds in New York.” He also called sharing the stage with longtime friends and fellow artists “extremely rewarding.”
Before hitting the road for his current tour, Joel wrapped up a legendary run at Madison Square Garden, where he held a monthly residency for an entire decade.
