Indeed, it could be one of the last times they will see the heart throb in the flesh because he has revealed in on-line chat with fans  that he will probably never tour again.\u003cbr/\u003eNow 51 (52 on May 9) Billy Joel is a classically trained musician who combines rock attitude with professionalism.  Whether taking the form of rock n' roll, new wave, hard-edged dance fare, Sixties nostalgia, or political statement, his songs are marked by melodies derived ultimately from Tin Pan Alley and Paul McCartney.  His forte is the romantic ballad epitomized by his signature tune, \"Just the Way You Are.\"\u003cbr/\u003eRaised in a middle-class Hicksville, Long Island, family, Joel ran with a leather-jacketed street gang as a teenager.  He also boxed for three years, breaking his nose in the process.  In the late Sixties, he joined the Long Island band the Hassles, which released two meagre-selling records on United Artists\u003cbr/\u003eHis solo debut, Cold Spring Harbor, demonstrated both his fondness for his native Long Island and the somber side of his singing/songwriting approach, but because the tapes were inadvertently sped up slightly in production, Joel's voice sounded nasal and unnatural.\u003cbr/\u003eLegal and managerial woes precluded an immediate follow-up, and for six months Joel performed in West Coast piano bars under the name \"Bill Martin.\" These experiences informed his breakthrough, 'Piano Man.'\u003cbr/\u003eHis third solo album, another respectable seller, featured \"The Entertainer\" (#34, 1974).  Next came  \"New York State of Mind\"  and a string of hit singles: 1977's \"Just the Way You Are\" (#3) and 1978's \"Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)\" (#17), \"She's Always a Woman\" (#17), and \"Only the Good Die Young\" (#24). \"Just the Way You Are,\" written for his first wife and manager, Elizabeth, won two Grammy Awards in 1978.\u003cbr/\u003eMore hits followed -- from 1978's 52nd Street, \"My Life\" (#3, 1978), \"Big Shot\" (#14, 1979), and \"Honesty\" (#24, 1979); from 1980's Glass Houses, \"It's Still Rock and Roll to Me\" (#1, 1980) and \"You May Be Right\" (#7, 1980). In 1981 \"Say Goodbye to Hollywood\" (also recorded in the Seventies by Ronnie Spector) became a hit. \u003cbr/\u003eDespite the hits, Joel remained in his most vociferous critics' eyes \"a lightweight\"; Joel responded publicly by tearing up critical reviews on stage during his concerts.  Critically and musically, the tide seemed to turn for Joel with the socially conscious album The Nylon Curtain, which showcased his musical skill and pop traditionalist's gift for song structure.  That, along with his perseverance and industry, began winning critical converts and, in 1992, Joel was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. \u003cbr/\u003eThe multi platinum An Innocent Man, a stylistic homage to Sixties AM-radio pop, offered \"Tell Her About It\" (#1, 1983)  and the #3 single, \"Uptown Girl\" (1983), a Four Seasons-esque Valentine for Christie Brinkley, the model whom Joel would marry in 1985 (the couple divorced in 1994). \u003cbr/\u003eAfter a seven-night run at Madison Square Garden in 1984, he released Greatest Hits: Volume I \u0026amp; Volume II, his seventh consecutive Top Ten album.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Bridge (1986) found him duetting -- on \"Baby Grand\" -- with Ray Charles, for whom Joel's and Brinkley's daughter, Alexa Ray, was named.  In 1989 Storm Front and its first single, \"We Didn't Start the Fire,\" charted simultaneously at #1; its centerpiece ballad, \"Shameless,\" became a hit for Garth Brooks two years later, and its supporting tour saw Yankee Stadium hosting its first rock concert. By this time, Joel had reorganized his band, found new management, and, for longtime producer Phil Ramone, substituted Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones.\u003cbr/\u003eWith 1993's River of Dreams, which entered the chart at #1, Joel's lyrical content revealed a more philosophical outlook. \u003cbr/\u003eJoel's career has been marked by tumultuous business moves -- his 1972 relinquishing of publishing rights to Family Productions, his legal battles with his first wife and former manager a $90-million lawsuit Joel filed against ex-manager and former brother-in-law Frank Weber in 1989 alleging fraud and misappropriation of funds and another against former lawyer Allen Grubman, charging fraud, malpractice, and breach of contract.  Joel also sued his one-time tour manager, Rick London (his first wife's brother-in-law); he dropped that in early 1995. \u003cbr/\u003eDeeply suspicious of the music business, Joel has fought for lower concert ticket prices and attacked ticket scalping; he has contributed extensively to philanthropic causes.\u003cbr/\u003eOn March 15 last year, Billy Joel was inducted into the Rock \u0026amp; Roll Hall Of Fame by Ray Charles, placing him alongside his all time heroes and influences including Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Curtis Mayfield, Del Shannon and Dusty Springfield.\u003cbr/\u003eHaving sold more than 100 million records over the past quarter century, Billy Joel ranks as one of most popular recording artists and respected entertainers in the world. He has won five Grammy Awards including Record of the Year (1978: \"Just The Way You Are\"), Song of the Year (1978: \"Just The Way You Are\"), Album of the Year (1979: 52nd Street), and Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male (1979: 52nd Street; 1980: Glass Houses).  In 1990, Billy Joel received the Grammy Legend Award. \u003cbr/\u003eThe concert documented in the  2000 YEARS - THE MILLENNIUM CONCERT album opens with Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and runs into the Eighties rocker \"Big Shot.\"  The set list also includes \"Summer, Highland Falls,\" \"The Ballad of Billy the Kid\" and \"Angry Young Man,\" and more recent, undervalued numbers like \"I Go to Extremes\" and \"Big Man on Mulberry Street.\"  There are also rollicking covers of \"Honky Tonk Women\" and \"Dance to the Music.\"\u003cbr/\u003eFor more information contact Columbia Records (see
