The concert, which was scheduled for Monday, Dec. 19, will now take place on June 2, the singer announced on Sunday, Dec. 18.
“Billy Joel is under strict doctor’s orders for vocal rest due to a viral infection and as a result, his concert scheduled for Monday, December 19th at Madison Square Garden is postponed to Friday, June 2nd," the announcement reads. "We understand the inconvenience this causes everyone who purchased tickets, and we apologize for this unexpected circumstance.”
Joel, who grew up on Long Island where he maintains residences in Centre Island, and Sag Harbor, said he was disappointed to learn the show couldn't go forward as scheduled and apologized to fans that the decision was announced so close to when the concert was set to start.
"I look forward to seeing you in the New Year," he said.
