Dates are beginning to trickle in for Billy Joel’s return to the road. It looks like the outing will start in January and run well into the spring months. A formal announcement of the arena tour is expected in the next day or so.
This will mark the Piano Man’s first solo headlining tour since his 1998-99 run which grossed $47.1 million over 73 shows. His subsequent tours with Elton John were even more lucrative and made the two pop kings the highest-grossing touring duo ever.
The new tour comes on the heals of the November 22 release of a Joel box set, curated by the artist himself. The four-CD / one-DVD package includes 23 unreleased tracks and loads of bonuses.
