Jon Small, who played alongside Billy Joel in the Hassles and Attila before a personal rupture and later reconciliation, has died. His age and cause of death were not immediately known.
The film, to be directed by John Ottman, has neither life rights nor music clearance from the singer. It’s been in an odd legal position since 2021.
A film about Billy Joel’s early years is moving ahead with life rights to his first manager, not the singer. Joel’s spokesperson called the project “legally and professionally misguided.”
