Elton John is teaming up again with Billy Joel for a joint tour in 2009 and 2010. The "Face to Face" tour is set to start in March with a series of dates in the South (yay!). Exact dates and cities haven't been announced.

"Billy and I will go out next year for at least two years on and off, all over the world," Elton said on his official website. "It's something I've looked forward to for a long time. I love touring with him - we're both such good friends."
