Axl Rose Joins Billy Joel at Final Madison Square Garden Residency Gig For AC/DC, Wings Covers


Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose joined Billy Joel on Thursday (July 25) at the Piano Man's 150th and final MSG residency show for AC/DC, Wings covers.

Billy Joel crashed his historic Madison Square Garden residency run to a close on Thursday (July 25) with a sold-out gig marking his record-setting 150th show at the storied New York arena. Wearing a Las Vegas-worthy sequin-covered sparkly sport coat, black jeans and shirt and dark shades, Rose came out mid-show to croon his iconic take on Wings’ James Bond theme “Live and Let Die,” with Joel tinkling the ivories as Rose stalked the stage, tossing off wailing high notes and stomping his foot to the song’s staccato stabs. Joel — who released his first new pop song in 17 years, “ Turn the Lights Back On ” in February — is not nearly done, with stadiums shows in the UK, Cleveland, St. Louis, Los Angeles, San Antonio and Las Vegas keeping him on the road through November.
