Billy Joel bezeichnet nicht autorisierten Biopic als rechtlich fragwürdig

Billy Joel hat sich gegen einen kommenden, nicht autorisierten Film über seine frühe Karriere ausgesprochen und erklärt, dass das Projekt weder seine Zustimmung besitzt noch über die notwendigen Rechte an seiner Musik und Lebensgeschichte verfügt.

Der Sänger ließ die Stellungnahme über einen Sprecher bezüglich des Films Billy & Me veröffentlichen. Das Projekt, bei dem John Ottman Regie führt und für den Schnitt verantwortlich ist, beleuchtet Joels Anfänge aus der Perspektive seines ersten Managers Irwin Mazur und seines langjährigen Freundes Jon Small. Die Filmemacher verfügen über die Persönlichkeitsrechte von Mazur und Small, der als Koproduzent und Berater an dem Film mitwirkt.
