Billy Joel is reportedly set to celebrate his speedy recovery from double hip replacement surgery by joining his pal Elton John onstage in March 2011 when the Brit plays New York's fabled Madison Square Garden.

The 61-year-old singer had the operation in November 2010, but was already back on his feet and hobbling around with the help of two canes within two weeks of the surgery. And, according to the New York Post's Page Six column, the Piano Man is preparing to make his live comeback by performing alongside the Rocket Man for a special appearance at one of his upcoming gigs in the Big Apple.

Representatives for both stars had yet to comment on the rumours. Elton is due to play Madison Square Garden on March 16 and 20, 2011.
