A rep for the iconic pianist confirmed that he has no involvement in the biopic.

The producers have gone another direction and acquired the life rights of Irwin Mazur.

Mazur was Joel’s music representative from 1970 to 1972 before breaking out as the Piano Man.

Joel’s refusal to support the film will limit the biopic from telling his true life story.

“Piano Man” will follow the story of Joel’s early years, from his time with Mazur to when he became a star.
