Billy Joel is to become a father for the third time - at the age of 68. The popstar, who has sold 150 million records, told the Belfast Telegraph  that he and his fourth wife, Alexis Roderick, were "due next month.”

It will be a third child for Joel, who has a two-year-old daughter Della Rose, with Roderick, as well as a daughter with ex-wife Christie Brinkley. Alexa-Ray Joel, who is 31, is also a singer.

“This one is pretty good,” Joel told the Belfast Telegraph, referring to his toddler daughter. “She sleeps through the night. I hope the next one will.”

JoeI - who recently announced that he will be visiting the UK to play a concert in Manchester next year - also admitted that he was unhappy about the current political situation in the US and said he had driven past  Donald Trump’s house in Florida on his motorbike, and given the house the two fingers.

“I do that all the time," he said. “It is probably on film somewhere. I’m sure they’ve got cameras all over the place. I’m not a fan. I think he’s got a pretty thin skin. I don’t think he is very happy in the job. I don’t know what he’s doing there. And neither does he.”
