In early February 2010, Elton John and Billy Joel set out on another leg of their concert series Face to Face. [1] Most of these shows had been rescheduled from the year before when John had contracted E. coli , forcing the pair to cancel the concerts planned for the fall of 2009. Joel had also fallen unwell at the time of the gigs the previous year.[ citation needed ]

Despite several outlets reporting four summer concerts in Chicago, Pittsburgh and Boston, Joel denied rumours in the trade press announcing that he cancelled a summer 2010 leg of the tour, claiming that those concerts were never booked in the first place and that he intended to take the year off from performing and music. [2] Joel told Rolling Stone magazine: "We'll probably pick it up again. It's always fun playing with him."
Joel stated in 2012 that he would no longer tour with Elton because it restrained his setlists. [3] [4]
