El músico neoyorquino desechó públicamente el proyecto Billy & Me, basado en la visión de su primer mánager, Irwin Mazur, y advirtió sobre las consecuencias de cualquier avance sin su aval

A biopic chronicling the early years of Billy Joel is in development. However, a rep for the Piano Man said that Joel has not authorized the project.

Joel said the project, which is being directed by 'Michael' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody' editor John Ottman, doesn't have his music or life rights.
