Even if you don’t get to see Billy Joel<\/strong> perform his ongoing residency at Madison Square Garden before he calls it quits, don’t worry \u2014 the Piano Man will still be in a “New York State of Mind.”<\/p>\n

In a preview<\/a> of an interview with Willie Geist<\/strong> that will air on NBC’s Sunday TODAY,<\/em> Billy says that during the decade that he’s been doing his residency, there was an “exclusivity aspect” of the deal that prevented him from playing other New York-area venues. But now, he says, “We can play stadiums. Yankee Stadium, Giants Stadium, Citi Field, where the Mets play, so there\u2019s plenty of that lined up. I\u2019m not going to stop doing shows. That\u2019s what I do.”<\/p>\n

“We have a whole schedule laid out into 2025, where we\u2019re going to be playing,” he continues.<\/p>\n

And he’s not even considering retiring, he says. “I\u2019m not going to stop doing shows. That\u2019s what I do. What else am I going to do? Stop doing shows and sit around, and watch TV, and turn into a vegetable? No. I don\u2019t want to do that,” he notes.<\/p>\n

Billy also says he’s happy that his audiences are filled with younger people, and not just people who’ve been around since he started his career 50 years ago.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, and we\u2019re getting all different age demographics. I\u2019m seeing a lot of younger people in our shows. It\u2019s like they\u2019re coming to see the antique,” he laughs. “That\u2019s all that I can do. But it helps having new audiences come in all the time.”<\/p>\n

The final show of Billy’s MSG residency will take place on July 25.<\/p>\n
