Emerging online, a video of the Uptown Girl singer can be seen as he takes a nasty fall on stage.
Toppling over in front of a crowd after throwing his microphone, Billy Joel’s fall left onlookers worried for the singer.
The call came as he crooned his hit It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me.
As he sang, Billy lost his footing and fell on his back before his band rushed to help him.
After regaining his balance, Billy soon got back into the groove and continued his performance like the pro he is.
Singing another song for fans, Billy seemed in good spirits after his fall.
One fan who attended the show said he looked frail and was even “hobbling”.
A concert-goer said: “He looked frail hobbling across the stage.
CONCERNED CONCERT-GOER
“At one point, he was using the microphone stand as a cane.
“I was really very concerned about him throughout the concert.
“Before he fell, I said to my friend ‘he’s going to fall’ and then he did.
“The venue gasped when he hit the floor.
“He definitely looked thrown off but somehow he managed to finish the show with a final song.
“When I was younger, I was a massive fan of Billy Joel, so this is very concerning.”
