Why Did Billy Joel Concert Get Cut Short During ‘Piano Man’?

Billy Joel’s Sunday night concert on CBS came to an abrupt ending, and fans aren’t happy. First, the concert was delayed to The Masters coverage, which was understandable and, really, music fans are used to some delays, BUT in the final minutes — when Joel was singing his beloved “Piano Man” — the concert ends and in some markets it apparently cut to a commercial; in our local market (Milwaukee), it cut right into the news.
