Maroon 5′s Big Secret Shared With Billy Joel

Maroon 5 have always been strict about not revealing the origin of the band’s name, but they tell Radio 1 they’ve slipped the secret to a veteran musical peer. “I’m sorry but that’s the one question we won’t answer, and it’s a big secret and no one knows – except Billy Joel,” the band revealed. “Billy Joel knows the origin of the name – I broke the oath with him because he’s Billy Joel. So, you guys better talk to him about that.”
