CBS has apologized after Billy Joel's 100th consecutive performance at Madison Square Garden was abruptly cut off for some viewers on Sunday.

Joel was halfway through playing "Piano Man" when local news began airing in some parts of the country.

"A network programming timing error ended last night's Billy Joel special approximately two minutes early in the Eastern and Central Time Zones," Julie Holland, CBS's Vice President of Communications, said in a statement. "We apologize to Mr. Joel, his fans, our affiliated stations, and our audience whose viewing experience was interrupted during the last song."

Due to overwhelming demand from his legion of fans, Joel's performance will be rebroadcast in full beginning at 9 p.m. ET on Friday, April 19, CBS said. Fans can also watch Joel's performance on Paramount+.

Joel performed some of his biggest hits during the concert, including "New York State of Mind" and his new single "Turn the Lights Back On." Sting and Jerry Seinfeld joined him on stage.

Sunday's special got a late start after the 2024 Masters Tournament.

Beatles legend Ringo Starr recently released a new single, "February Sky," from his upcoming solo EP, Crooked Boy.

Crooked Boy is due out on limited-edition marble vinyl on April 20 for Record Store Day.

A visual shared along with the song features some never-before-seen clips from Ringo's archives. The video has scenes of stormy skies, swaying palm trees, seagulls flying overhead, a churning ocean, and more.

"Gonna stand up rise above the rain," Ringo sings on the track. "Start a revolution in these brighter days/ Found the missing pieces/ That were vacant to the eye/ Well I had enough of February sky."

Linda Perry wrote and produced Crooked Boy.

"Linda made me a great EP - she produced it in her studio and then sent me the tracks and I added the drumming and my vocals," Ringo said in a statement. "'February Sky' is great - very moody - but since Linda wrote these specifically for me it of course has to have a positive peace & love element."
