Elton John & Billy Joel 'Face 2 Face Tour 2009'

Elton John and Billy Joel, the most successful and longest running concert pairing in pop history, will reunite for their Face 2 Face tour in St. Paul.

Elton and Billy Joel, the most successful and longest-running concert pairing in pop history, will reunite for their Face 2 Face tour beginning in March, 2009.

Elton and Billy open the concerts with a series of duets, playing twin pianos and trading vocals. Each artist then performs a set with his own band. A grand finale brings the two superstars and their supporting musicians back together for a closing encore. This includes some of both Elton and Billy's greatest hits along with an unpredictable selection of rock and roll classics.

"I love touring with Billy. I have the greatest respect for him and we're such good friends," Elton said. And "the great thing about performing with Elton is that he is such a good piano player and that makes me have to dig deep to keep up with him, not to mention I've got the best seat in the house-only one piano away from Elton John!" said Billy
