Billy Joel Wraps Up Historic Madison Square Garden Run with Guests Axl Rose and Jimmy Fallon

Billy Joel wrapped up his historic run of shows at Madison Square Garden with a little help from friends Jimmy Fallon and Axl Rose Thursday night (July 25).

Show number 104 was also a family affair with Joel’s two younngest daughters–Della, who’ll be 9 in August, and Remy, 6–lending an assist to their father. While Remy sat on the piano and waved to the crowd, Della sang along with every word to pop’s hit “My Life.”

“We don’t want to leave either, but it’s time,” Joel said, calling the residency “the most amazing gig that we’ve ever done, ever.”

 Rose also joined Joel for Paul McCartney‘s James Bond theme “Live and Let Die,” which GN’R had covered on their 1991 album Use Your Illusion I.  Rose also performed AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell.” Rose previously filled in for AC/DC in 2016. He later returned to the stage for “You May Be Right.”
