Fans of singer Billy Joel are truly outraged by the broadcast of the singer’s show by the CBS network; Joel’s performance was recorded on March 28 during his 100th performance at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Television viewers, who had eagerly awaited to watch the concert on TV, were extremely disappointed. The start of the broadcast was delayed due to CBS network’s live coverage of the Masters golf tournament, which ultimately resulted in a cut-off of the singer’s performance.
Those who were following the performance were shocked when the broadcast was interrupted to switch to the news. Billy Joel’s show was cut off right in the middle of one of his most iconic songs, ‘Piano Man’, and his fans were simply outraged.
On social media, viewers questioned the television network: “Wow. CBS cut off Billy Joel’s special show to start local news broadcasts from their affiliates… In the middle of ‘Piano Man’. Someone really messed up. That’s shameful,” said one; “CBS has been promoting Billy Joel’s special show every two minutes for WEEKS. So, what’s a better way to broadcast it than to start it half an hour early and interrupt it MID-PIANO MAN? Come on, folks!”, wrote another.
After so much criticism, CBS apologized for the confusion and announced that Billy Joel’s show will be replayed, in its entirety, on April 19.
