"Looks like he tore a rotator or something" — Internet expresses concern as Billy Joel falls on stage during live performance

Billy Joel is trending online after he fell on stage at the Montville-based Mohegan Sun during a performance on February 22, 2025. Joel was performing his song It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me when he started spinning his mic stand and threw it in the air so that he could land in between the audience, as per Us Weekly.

However, the singer lost his balance at the same following which he fell. He was helped by his band members to get back on his feet after which he continued singing and ending his performance for the crowd.

“Looks like his hip or knee gave out”, a user wrote on X.

The replies continued, with a user claiming that Billy Joel performed for around an hour after the fall. However, others were spotted asking if the cord of the mic had anything to do with his fall.
