Billy Joel tar avstånd från obehörig film om sina tidiga år

Billy Joel har avvisat ett nytt filmprojekt som fokuserar på hans tidiga liv, och en företrädare bekräftar att sångaren inte har godkänt eller stöttat filmen på något sätt.

En biografisk film med titeln Billy & Me är under utveckling för att skildra musikerns formativa år innan hans genombrott på 1970-talet. Projektet kommer att berättas ur hans första managers perspektiv, Irwin Mazur, som upptäckte Joel 1966 och skrev kontrakt med honom 1970. En talesperson för Joel uppger att de inblandade parterna har varit informerade sedan 2021 om att de saknar de nödvändiga rättigheterna för produktionen gällande både hans liv och musik.
