The star-studded concert also saw appearances from Elvis Costello and the newly married Great Gerwig and Noah Baumbach.
It was a family affair for Billy Joel during his star-studded concert at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night.
In addition to Elvis Costello and the newly married Great Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, the “Uptown Girl” singer was joined by two very special guests — his daughters, Della, 8, and Remy, 6, who teamed up with their dad for a special performance of “Jingle Bells.”
The absolutely adorable moment saw the girls, who Joel shares with second wife Alexis Roderick, in matching green leather-look dresses and black tights, as they sang.
Della, meanwhile, topped her dress with a festive green and red hat, as the sisters sang while dad did his part at the helm of the piano.
