BILLY JOEL DEDICATES 'YOU'RE ONLY HUMAN (SECOND WIND)' TO ORLANDO VICTIMS

Written by Ezra Marcus / June 20, 2016

Billy Joel performed at Madison Square Garden last night, and he offered his thoughts on the tragedy in Orlando. "We're no strangers to terrorism and mayhem and grief, maybe here in New York more than any other city in America," Joel said. "Us guys have been to Orlando many times, and we will be back there again, and I just want to dedicate tonight's concert to the people and Orlando. Especially the families and the friends and the loved ones of the victims of this senseless, senseless massacre. You're with us. We're with you." He dedicated a very special performance of "You're Only Human (Second Wind)" to the victims: "We're gonna do a song I haven't done in, I don't know, 25 years or something," he said, introducing the song. "We may screw this up, but at least you know we're not on tape. I'll be an authentic rock n' roll fuck up." Watch below.
