Billy Joel qualifie le biopic non autorisé de projet juridiquement infondé

Billy Joel a rejeté un prochain film non autorisé portant sur le début de sa carrière, affirmant que le projet n'a pas reçu son approbation et ne dispose pas des droits nécessaires sur sa musique et son histoire personnelle.

Le chanteur a publié une déclaration par l'intermédiaire d'un porte-parole concernant le film Billy & Me. Le projet, réalisé et monté par John Ottman, se concentre sur les débuts de Joel à travers le regard de son premier manager, Irwin Mazur, et de son ami de longue date, Jon Small. Les cinéastes détiennent les droits sur l'histoire personnelle de la part de Mazur et Small, ce dernier étant coproducteur exécutif et consultant sur le film.
