Billy Joel performed Thursday night as part of his ongoing monthly run of shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The Piano Man played a song in honor of Aretha Franklin and was joined by Bryan Adams during last evening’s encore.
Joel’s tribute to The Queen Of Soul came mid-set as vocalist Crystal Taliefero led a version of “Respect.” Adams emerged to assist the final two songs of the five-song encore. The pair teamed up for Adams’ “Summer of ’69” and Joel’s “You May Be Right.” Watch footage of Bryan and Billy captured by CES GURL below:
