Billy Joel surprises local band in Dania Beach
From hip replacement to hipster: Billy Joel showed up on his bike Saturday at the Dania Beach Vintage Motorcycle Show, where he thrilled the crowd when he got up and sang with a local band, The Whipping Post. Said event organizer Clare Frost, “He walked through the crowd without people really knowing who he was and looked at the over 230 vintage bikes on display and talked to a few of our vendors and out of the blue, he walks up on stage and stood there facing the lead singer, Bob. Bob did a double take, and Billy asked him if he could jam with them. Only about 25 were around them at first but I guess with Facebook, about 100 more showed up, and when he got off the stage after about three songs, [none of his], he signed autographs and had pics taken. He then got about halfway across the field, got lost in the crowd, got on [his] bike...and left.” How Eddie and The Cruisers of him.
