Billy Joel Rejects Unauthorized Pre-Piano Man Biopic
Billy Joel has not authorized or supported the film Billy and Me, a pre-Piano Man biopic directed by John Ottman and shaped in part by his former manager Irwin Mazur’s perspective; despite ongoing casting and Joel’s drummer Jon Small’s involvement as a consultant, his representatives say proceeding without consent would be legally and professionally misguided, with the project focusing on the Hassles era and early songs.
