Billy Joel will tie Elton John for most performances at Madison Square Garden after he plays his 64th gig later in June. On July 1, the Piano Man will surpass the Rocket Man with his 65th show. “There are a lot of venues out there, but only one Madison Square Garden – my home away from home,” said Joel in a presser. He will be using the gigs to raise awareness for MSG’s Garden of Dreams Foundation, he added. “As a local kid from Long Island, I love that MSG’s Garden of Dreams Foundation does great work for children facing obstacles in the New York area and I’m thrilled to auction the first commemorative banner to help these amazing kids.” The Garden of Dreams Foundation works with The Madison Square Garden Company to bring the magic of MSG – including MSG Entertainment, the Knicks, Rangers, Liberty and MSG Networks – to children facing obstacles.
