If you didn't already know that Billy Joel has two daughters under the age of 10, now you know, as does everyone who attended his residency at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night (December 19). For his last show before Christmas, the singer welcomed his youngest children, Della and Remy, plus family friend Elvis Costello, on stage as special guests.
Dressed as very stylish North Pole elves, eight-year-old Della and six-year-old Remy sang “Jingle Bells” for the MSG audience while their father accompanied them on the piano. It was a great evening for Christmas tunes (according to Songlist.fm), while the pianist also performed versions of “Deck the Halls”, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Silent Night”.
Costello emerged in the second half of the set, performing his own “Pump It Up” with Joel, as well as a duet version of Joel’s “Allentown.” Joel later shared a sweet post on Instagram thanking “some special guests on show #97.” See that below.
