US musician Billy Joel has been spotted getting the train to his stadium gig in Cardiff, his only European tour date.

The 75-year-old 'Piano Man' and We Didn't Start The Fire hit-maker is playing to a circa 70,000-crowd at the Principality Stadium on Friday, 9 August.

It is fans' only chance to see the star performer live in Europe this year.

Train operator Great Western Railway posted a snap of the US singer-songwriter and a member of staff on a train, along with the caption: "t was a pleasure to take the 'Piano Man' Billy Joel Uptown to Cardiff today for his only gig in Europe. Get ready to be rocked Wales!"
