There's a Billy Joel Biopic in the Works . . . And Billy Isn't Happy
There's a Billy Joel biopic in the works. It's called "Billy and Me", and it covers Joel's early career up to his breakout hit "Piano Man".
Oh, and here's another thing about it: It's unauthorized, and Billy does NOT want it to happen.
His rep issued a statement saying the people behind the movie don't have the rights to Billy's life, and they won't get the rights to his music, either.
He added that Billy "has not authorized or supported this project in any capacity, and any attempt to move forward without it would be both legally and professionally misguided."

Then he chose a lyric from the song "DOA", that goes, quote, "It's a shame we have to die, my dear / No one's getting out of here alive."
He said, quote, "That's so [effing] stupid. That's one of those I wrote because you guys were like, 'Dave, sing something, anything.'"
