CBS has apologized after Billy Joel's 100th consecutive performance at Madison Square Garden was abruptly cut off for some viewers on Sunday.

Joel was halfway through playing "Piano Man" when local news began airing in some parts of the country.

"A network programming timing error ended last night's Billy Joel special approximately two minutes early in the Eastern and Central Time Zones," Julie Holland, CBS's Vice President of Communications, said in a statement. "We apologize to Mr. Joel, his fans, our affiliated stations, and our audience whose viewing experience was interrupted during the last song."

Due to overwhelming demand from his legion of fans, Joel's performance will be rebroadcast in full beginning at 9 p.m. ET on Friday, April 19, CBS said. Fans can also watch Joel's performance on Paramount+.

Joel performed some of his biggest hits during the concert, including "New York State of Mind" and his new single "Turn the Lights Back On." Sting and Jerry Seinfeld joined him on stage.

Sunday's special got a late start after the 2024 Masters Tournament.

Iconic girl group TLC have achieved their first-ever billion-streaming song on Spotify with the BMG songwriter Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs-produced hit "No Scrubs."

"No Scrubs," originally released in 1999, was TLC's third No. 1 single and has continued to be a fan-favorite in the decades since with numerous reimagined covers, remixes, and samples including Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You," "SOS" from Avicii featuring Aloe Blacc, and more recently, Brent Faiyaz's "Tim's Intro."

The hit song would go on to be nominated for eight Grammy Awards at the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards and resulted in a Grammy win for Briggs for Best R&B Song. In the same year, Briggs was also nominated for the Destiny's Child hit, "Bills Bills, Bills" in the same category as well as nominations for Album of the Year for TLC's FanMail, and Record of the Year also for "No Scrubs."

Briggs has worked with many of the biggest stars in music, including Destiny's Child, Pink, Whitney Houston, Blu Cantrell, Usher, and with Ariana Grande on the 2019 hit "Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" which earned him an ASCAP Pop Award.
