Billy Joel Cancels Face To Face Tour With Elton John

Billy Joel and Elton John’s Face To Face tour is officially not running into the summer or ever. Joel has endured a difficult few months since his daughter, singer Alexa Ray Joel, was hospitalized in December after experiencing breathing difficulties while taking homeopathic medication Traumeel. She reportedly took the pills to deal with a severe bout of depression following her split from her boyfriend. – LADY

“As far as I know, there will be no more Billy and Elton shows after the Albany show in New York on March 11th. It’s not my decision, it’s Billy’s. He has decided to take a year off,” said John.

“I’m so disappointed because when we came to Wrigley Field last year… it was like playing in the church of baseball. I was so delighted to be there, and we had such a wonderful two days. It (Joel’s hiatus) doesn’t gel with my plans but he’s a friend. And as an artist, you have to respect his decision,” Elton continued.
