CBS Apologizes After Billy Joel’s 100th Madison Square Garden Show Broadcast Was Cut Off During ‘Piano Man’


CBS has officially released a statement on Monday (April 15) after Billy Joel's concert special was cut off during "Piano Man."

Due to the overwhelming demand from his legion of fans, BILLY JOEL: THE 100TH – LIVE AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN will be rebroadcast in its entirety on CBS on April 19th at 9:00PM ET/PT.” According to viewers, the show was originally slated to run from 9-11 p.m. on CBS, but the network’s live coverage of the Masters golf tournament pushed back the start of the Joel concert’s airing about half an hour, which meant that the climactic ending of the show was cut off for many viewers to throw to the local news. Billy Joel performs during his 100th show at Madison Square Garden on March 28, 2024 in New York City.
