Billy Joel, too sick to play Verizon anniversary party, too busy to make it up

Now just imagine that's another finger Billy Joel's holding up.

First, Elton John got sick and forced a string of cancellations, now Billy Joel's suffering from some unknown ailment that's led to another spate of skipped dates. That's tough luck for Central Arkansas and for Verizon Arena's planned ten-year anniversary bash scheduled for Nov. 28: While this week's planned concerts in Denver, Salt Lake City and Oklahoma City have all been postponed, the Verizon date has simply been cancelled. "Scheduling conflicts" are to blame, a Verizon press release says.

Refunds are available at the point of sale.

Michael Marion deserved better treatment than that. What, Elton cant play solo anymore? He was all by himself on the FIRST alltel concert.

Billy's voice is gone anway. Bring on the Cowsills Tribute Band for the party!
