Billy Joel Donates $50,000 to Andrew Cuomo New York City Mayoral Bid


Singer-songwriter and pianist Billy Joel has reportedly donated $50,000 to a Super PAC backing his friend, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D), in his comeback bid for New York City mayor.

Joel donated the money to the “Fix The City” Super PAC through the “William M. Joel Revocable Trust,” according to records filed with the state Board of Elections, obtained by New York Post.

Cuomo, who is the godfather of one of Joel’s daughters, attended a press conference announcing the “Uptown Girl” singer’s residency at Madison Square Garden, which ended last year.

Interestingly, the 75-year-old “Movin’ Out” singer now spends most of his time in Florida, quipping last year, “I’ll be spending more time in Florida like old Jewish guys from Long Island do.”
