Billy Joel joked that “You May Be Right” if you think he has a wooden leg – but not a glass eye.

While playing one of his monthly shows at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night, the legendary rocker shared with the audience that he has “a leaky eye,” the result of one of his eyes not getting enough lubrication.

Joel, 73, then assured the crowd that he doesn’t have a glass eye – despite what they may have heard – but does “have a wooden leg.”

The “Piano Man” warbler wowed the sold-out crowd playing his usual assortment of hits along with a cover of The Beatles’ “A Day in the Life.” He quipped afterward that he hadn’t written that song, “but I wish I had.”

The Bronx-born, Long Island-based musician also belted out his 1983 hit “An Innocent Man,” telling the crowd that he wrote the song before his voice deepened with age. Joel also confessed that he wasn’t sure he’d be able to hit a certain high note anymore, saying, “You’ll know which one I’m talking about.”

“This could be a cringefest,” Joel joked before launching into the song.

The Grammy winner began his residency as the “house band” at Madison Square Garden back in January 2014 but was forced to take a 21-month pause due to the coronavirus pandemic. Since resuming the concerts in November 2021, Joel has shown off a markedly svelte makeover, having lost 50 pounds.

The evening’s biggest cheer was reserved for “Piano Man” when Joel switched up the lyrics and sang, “It’s a pretty good crowd for a Wednesday” instead of Saturday.
