I can’t imagine two bigger stars on one bill.
Billy Joel and Sting, or rather Sting and Billy Joel, will play a mega show in Tampa this coming February 2024.
I’m getting my plane ticket now.
This show will be memorable for many reasons. But one connection the two have is hard to ignore. They each lived in the same apartment.
Years ago, Billy and Christie Brinkley had a magnificent apartment on Central Park West. But as we know Billy the Kid and the Uptown Girl divorced.
The couple sold the apartment to Sting and Trudie Styler, who lived there for eons very happily raising their huge family.
A few years ago, the first couple of rock — Sting and Trudie — sold the place for around $20 million bucks. They decamped down the boulevard near Lincoln Center, and now live on Central Park South.
Maybe Sting and Billy, who’ve remained good friends ever since then, will share stories of the building. Their neighbors included Paul Simon and Robert De Niro!
PS would love to hear Sting sing “New York State of Mind.” And Billy on “King of Pain.”
