Pop star Billy Joel's life story is being turned into a TV series titled "Big Shot," Variety reports.

Joel will help produce the one-hour drama that is likely to detail The Piano Man's early years and rise to fame in the music industry. The first season is expected to chronicle Joel's first marriage in the mid-70s to his then-business manager Elizabeth Weber.

Joel will share producing duties with "Will & Grace" star Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner's Hazy Mills Prods.

The show will air on Showtime in the U.S. There is no word on a Canadian airing.
