Billy Joel Gifted with Motorcycle in Honor of His MSG Residency
Billy Joel wrapped up his historic residency at Madison Square Garden last week, and the Garden showed its appreciation with a super cool gift-a motorcycle.
According to the New York Post, the Piano Man was gifted with a ’78 Triumph Bonneville motorcycle, decorated with piano keys, Joel’s signature and the MSG logo. To compliment it, Joel, a motorcycle fan, also got a helmet decorated with the list of all the dates he played at the venue.
The bike even made a cameo during the final show, when a camera flashed it up on the big screen while the Piano Man performed “You May Be Right.” (Which, of course, features the two-wheeled lyric “Even rode my motorcycle in the rain.”)
And that wasn’t all-late night host Jimmy Fallon was also on hand to help raise a banner in Joel’s honor at the show.
