Billy Joel blogs on our site

THE Piano Man has shared his thoughts ahead of his upcoming Australian tour, on The Courier-Mail's website.

Billy Joel is the first big name to have a blog on our website.

Over the weekend, Billy, on tour in Europe, reached for his laptop and answered as many questions as he could between engagements in Manchester and Ireland.

Readers wanted to know how songs had come about, whether Billy wrote words or music first, and why he never performs The Stranger at live shows.

He has one show in Queensland on November 21 at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.
