Billy Joel believes in leaving on a high note. The five-time Grammy winner said he stopped writing music after his 1993 album ‘River of Dreams’ because he felt like ‘I was done.’ Joel had a wife, ex Christie Brinkley, and a young daughter at the time.
Legacy and Music
He said he realized the Beatles made 12 albums and ‘that was just enough for me.’ Joel decided he was not going to do it anymore because he’s heard artists who keep putting out records and they really dilute their legacy. Maybe they’re not as good as they used to be, or they’re not as motivated as they were, but it ends up trailing off.
