BILLY JOEL O2 Dublin
Who he? A true-blue American hit maker across from the 1970s through the 1980s and into the 1990s.
How old? 64.
Best moment back in the day? The 1977 album, The Stranger, and the 1978 album, 52nd Street, contain the best examples of Joel’s adult-confessional style.
Can he still cut it? He hasn’t released a pop-orientated album since 1993’s River of Dreams, but the hits will carry him through the shows on his forthcoming winter tour.
Playing when? Friday November 1st, O2, Dublin.
