On New Year’s Eve 2014, something super cool happened! Brian Johnson, the lead singer of the rock band AC/DC, joined Billy Joel, a famous piano player and singer, on stage. They sang a fun song called “You Shook Me All Night Long” together at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida, to welcome the new year. This wasn’t their first time singing together—they did the same song earlier that year in March at Billy Joel’s show in New York at Madison Square Garden.
This awesome team-up happened more than a year before Brian had to stop touring with AC/DC in 2016 because he was having trouble hearing. Then, in 2019, people started getting excited again because there were hints that AC/DC might make a new album or go on another big tour. Photos showed Brian and his bandmates outside a recording studio, but they didn’t tell us for sure what they were up to, keeping it a big surprise.
As for Billy Joel, he’s still a huge star! A music magazine called him a “Touring Titan,” which means he’s amazing at performing live. He’s been doing shows at Madison Square Garden for a long time, and he’s booked to keep going until December 11. Billy hasn’t made a new album in almost 20 years, but he’s okay with that. He said, “Some singers worry about making new songs and staying popular, but I stopped worrying about that a long time ago.” He just loves playing music for his fans!
