Billy Joel, 74, is de-aged by AI in new music video

By editorial board on March 23, 2024

Billy Joel has premiered an official video for his new song “Turn the Lights Back On” on his official YouTube channel.

Joel then plays the song's opening chords on a Steinway & Sons piano before the camera pans upward, and when it reaches the singer again, he is seen at a much younger age during the early stage of his career.

 

The performer is then digitally aged by a few more years before he belts out the song's first chorus, after which he was aged further to resemble his image from the 1980s for the track's second verse.

The Grammy Award-winning songwriter was aged further while performing the track's piano solo, and the singer progressed forward to his current age as he crooned the song's final chorus.

Footage and home moves taken over the length of Joel's career and lifetime was then shown as the track's outro was played.

The video ended with a shot of the handwritten lyrics for Turn The Lights Back On resting on top of the musician's piano.

Recently Billy Joel was on 'The Late Show'and decleared he wants to form a supergroup with Sting, Don Henley, John Mayer
Piano Man  pay a visit to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, said he doesn't "have the nerve" to team up with Paul McCartney.

Joel has been just be interviewed at  The Late Show airs on CBS yesterday  at 11:35 p.m. ET/10:35 p.m. CT. It also streams live on Paramount+, and also can be viewed on demand on the platform.

Speaking to Howard Stern on February 14, the host asked Joel: “Wouldn’t it have been great if George Harrison and Tom Petty had asked you to be in The Travelling Wilburys?” Instead, Billy Joel shared that he had thought of “putting together” his own band.

Wouldn’t it have been great if George Harrison and Tom Petty had asked you to be in The Traveling Wilburys?” Stern mused. To which Joel replied: “I wanted to do something like that.”


“I thought about putting together a band: Me, Don Henley, and Sting, and maybe John Mayer on guitar.”

As for why the group did not materialise, the musician said: “Well, everybody’s busy… you always say to the other guys yeah I’ll see you on the road we’ll get together and you never do it.”

Joel added that he would work with musicians he has a friendly relationship with, like Sting. When asked about the possibility of having his buddy Paul McCartney on board though, the artist was quick to shut things down: “He was in the super-est group of all-time. I don’t have the nerve to do that,” Joel explained.

Macca’s former Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr, on the other hand, is welcome to join.

 

Joel previously appeared on the late-night chat show in 2017. During that appearance, host Stephen Colbert comically serenaded Joel with a medley of his many hits.

The Piano Man also chatted with Colbert about his love of The Beatles, his friendship with Paul McCartney, and his disinterest in making anymore new music at that time.

 

After the interview, Joel joined Jon Batiste and The Late Show’s house band to perform his 1976 gem “Miami 2017 (I’ve Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway).”
