Billy Joel Celebrates Show 100 at Madison Square Garden with Jerry Seinfeld and Sting
Billy Joel celebrated his 100th show at Madison Square Garden last night (March 28) with two very special guests in the house: comedian Jerry Seinfeld and Sting.
Fan-shot footage of the evening shows fellow Long Islander Seinfeld making a surprise appearance to help raise a banner marking Billy’s 100th consecutive sell-out residency show and the most lifetime performances by any artist at the arena.
Seinfeld called the moment “the most beautiful medallion on this magnificent career.”
“He is like the companion that we have gone through our whole lives with,” Seinfeld said. “His music is like our best friend for our whole life. I don’t even think he can understand how much his music means to us, being from where we are.”
Later in the evening Sting came out to join Billy for The Bridge track “Big Man on Mulberry Street” as well as The Police classic “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic.”
