Enraged Billy Joel fans are calling out CBS after a televised concert was cut off in the middle of his best-known song Sunday night.
Viewers watching the 100th concert of Joelâs residency at New Yorkâs Madison Square Garden had to wait just a little longer when it was delayed by the networkâs extended coverage of golfâs Masters Tournament.
Then, toward the end of the show, as Joel performed âPiano Man,â many viewers saw their screens go to black, followed by local news.
Fans took to X to blast the network and some even compared it to the infamous 1968 âHeidiâ game, in which NBC cut away from a football game between the New York Jets and Oakland Raiders to show the childrenâs movie.
