Indeed. What a great songwriter and performer he is. Piano Man is one of my favorites.

I do too. I don't know or care about his politics, but his music has soothed me in my life at different times. I'd just like all of us to remember that in this life no one gets out alive, and every moment is precious. I have been terribly deficient in remembering this, but this is one of those times that it becomes very apparent. My best to all of you.

In the meantime, Barry Manilow at age 80 just did Madison Square Garden to huge crowds and will now be doing Boston Garden.

Johnny Mathis just did his final concert ever last week in NJ at the age of 89 and has decided to retire...

Sad. I always thought “The Entertainer” was a great tune.

I have no idea either. That's one of the reasons I like him. He doesn't think selling a few records makes him king of the world like some [Expletive Deleted].

He performed for our school audience age 9. He was great even then. I lived around the corner from him in Hicksville. Sending prayers 🙏 for a complete recovery.

I didn’t realize Johnny Mathis was still alive, much less was still performing.

Too many drugs? or most certainly too much booze.

“Billy Joel revealed he’s been sober for two years.”

And drunks NEVER LIE about their drinking. /s

Someone on Newsmax made good statement about Billy Joel

He complains about the machine (bad government) but he is part of it.

Propaganda democrat propaganda agent he is.

Bummer. I always admired his talent for composing and performing.
