WASHINGTON - Rock 'n' roll icon Billy Joel has canceled Monday's show at New York's Madison Square Garden.

"I'm disappointed to share that I'm under doctor's orders for vocal rest due to a viral infection so unfortunately, I must postpone my Monday, December 19th concert at Madison Square Garden until June,” United Press International (UPI) reported the 73-year-old Piano Man singer tweeted Sunday.

"I'm so sorry to let you know so close to show day, but I was hoping to be closer to a full recovery by now. Sadly, that hasn't happened. I look forward to seeing you in the New Year”

This would have been the 86th concert of Joel's monthly MSG residency, according to UPI.

Joel had recently announced that he and Stevie Nicks will headline a series of shows, kicking off on March 10 in Los Angeles and continuing through September with stops in Nashville, Philadelphia and other cities. - BERNAMA
