Billy Joel is truly one of New York state’s great treasures."
Both Joel and Cuomo are born-and-bred New Yorkers who have supported one another for almost a decade now.
You may be right, it may be crazy.

But these two hard-working New Yorkers have formed a real bond over the years.
In 2015, Cuomo even presided overJoel’s fourth marriageto Alexis Roderick (perJet Set Times).
Cuomo once told reporters that Joel was “a good friend to me.

And we have a lot of fun together.
We ride motorcycles together, and we’re just friends together.”
The New York governor continued saying, “And you know, I’m a Queens boy.

We’reboth middle-class New York guys.
Joelrecently posted an Instagram statement commending how his friend handled the COVID-19 outbreak (viaPeople).
The musician wrote, “We are so proud of Governor Cuomo.
He is family to us.
No matter how busy he is, he’s always there.”
