The March 10 Albany, NY Face2Face concert featuring Elton John and Billy Joel will apparently be the last in 2010 because Joel wants to take the year off.  The tour, which became one of the top grossing tours of 2009, had planned on hitting a number of additional US cities this year.  Joel did not offer any specific reason for deciding he did not want to continue the tour.  Elton is said to be disappointed but supportive and respectful of the choice his counterpart made. For his part, Joel told Rolling Stone magazine had not committed to doing any 2010 dates other than make up shows for 2009 dates that had to be postponed.
