Howard Stern: I saw Billy Joel two weeks ago. We had dinner together and he said to me, "Yeah."

Robin Quivers: How's he doing?

Howard Stern: He's doing fine.

Robin Quivers: He had some issues. He announced an illness.

Howard Stern: Yeah, he does have issues, but he said, "Yeah, you can tell people, you know, I'm not dying." You know, he wants people to know that. He just, he's gotta deal with some medical stuff, but he was delightful. We had a great time with the wives. We had a great conversation. I was telling him, I'm enjoying playing classical music on the guitar.

Robin Quivers: I'm sure that made him happy.
