Billy Joel fell on stage during his latest concert at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. The incident left fans momentarily stunned. Although he quickly got back on his feet and finished the set, the incident has raised concern. Now, many are wondering what exactly happened.
What happened to Billy Joel?
Billy Joel unexpectedly fell on stage during his concert on February 22, 2025, at Mohegan Sun in Montville, Connecticut. He was performing “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me” when he lost his balance while twirling his microphone stand and fell backward. He finished the song and even performed one more before wrapping up the night. His band quickly rushed to assist him as the audience gasped in shock.
Although Joel managed to recover, fans noted that he appeared unwell throughout the evening. One user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Yikes! What happened to Billy Joel? He fell down like someone who just got their ninth booster.”
This incident followed his decision to cancel a Florida concert in January reportedly due to an unspecified “medical procedure.” It has since been rescheduled for late 2025. The singer has not publicly addressed his fall. However, his schedule remains packed.
Recently, Joel has announced new tour dates for 2025, including performances at three major New York stadiums: Yankee Stadium, MetLife Stadium, and Citi Field. Joel makes history as the first artist to do so in a single summer.
Rod Stewart, Stevie Nicks, and Sting are set to join him for these special performances. In an interview with Billboard, he said, “I’m looking forward to playing these iconic stadiums this summer – each holds personal significance to me. There’s nothing like the energy of the crowds in New York.”
Joel’s upcoming concerts follow the conclusion of his 10-year residency at Madison Square Garden, where he played over 100 shows.
