MONTVILLE, CONNECTICUT: Billy Joel, 75, took a frightening fall during his concert at Mohegan Sun in Montville, Connecticut, on February 22, leaving fans concerned.

While performing his 1980 hit 'It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me', the legendary singer lost his balance after twirling his microphone and tossing it toward the crowd.

Despite the tumble, Joel quickly returned and finished the song before playing another track for the audience. While the rock icon appeared to be okay, the fall raised concerns among his fans, many of whom took to social media to express their worries.

This incident comes just a few weeks after the 'Piano Man' singer had to cancel a Florida concert in January due to a mysterious “medical procedure.” While Joel hasn’t publicly addressed the fall, his resilience was on full display as he continued with his performance.

Despite the fall, the singer seems determined to keep going. His current tour schedule extends through November 2025, and after the incident, he announced additional dates, including stops at iconic venues such as Yankee Stadium, MetLife Stadium, and Citi Field this summer.
