Over five decades, Joel’s string of 33 Top 40 hits began with 1973’s autobiographical Piano Man while he’s amassed 23 Grammy nominations – winning six, including the Grammy Legend Award.
Other achievements include being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, being feted at the 36th Annual Kennedy Center Honors and receiving a Tony Award for Movin’ Out, a Broadway musical based on Joel’s music.
In January 2014, the Bronx-born Joel began a Madison Square Garden residency performing one show there monthly until his final concert in July, which marked Joel’s 150th lifetime performance at the venue.
