Billy Joel lands own satellite radio show
Written by . Published: March 23 2014
Legendary rocker Billy Joel is preparing to turn radio DJ for three months after landing his own satellite channel.
The Piano Man icon will share his favorite tracks with listeners on SiriusXM from next Wednesday (26Mar14), but he admits he has "no idea" what else he will be doing on the show.
He says, "There's gonna be a Billy Joel channel... They wanted me
to have a channel... I said, 'OK', (but) now what am I gonna
do?
"I guess they want me to program some music that I like to listen
to and talk about what we like to listen to on the road, or what we
do. I don't know. I guess I'm gonna wing it."
Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne
have also previously hosted their own SiriusXM shows.
