Billy Joel to Perform Live at the Bell Centre April 23

Billy Joel will be performing live at the Bell Centre on April 23 at 7:30 pm.

American singer and songwriter, Billy Joel released “Piano Man,” his first hit song in 1973.  He is reported to be the sixth best selling recording artist in the United States by the RIAA.

The six-time winning Grammy Award winner has had Top 10 hits in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s and has sold over 150 million albums worldwide.  Joel was also inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 1992, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2006.

Technically Joel “retired” in 1993 from recording pop music, but he continued to tour on occasion with British pop singer, Elton John.  The singer returned to recording with his 2001 release of Fantasies & Delusions, classical piano compositions and later recorded “All My Life” and released it in 2007.

Formerly the Moslon Centre, the Bell Centre (Le Centre Bell) has been the home of the Montreal Canadiens and has hosted the New York Rangers since March 16, 1996.The team later left the venue for the Montreal Forum.

The venue was built in 1993 and named the Molson Centre after the then Canadiens owner, Molson Inc, a brewing company, leading to the site’s nickname, The Keg.  Naming rights were given to Bell Canada on September 1, 2002 after Molson sold the team.
