Billy Joel’s Madison Square Garden residency concluded on 25 July, 2024 with a special appearance from Axl Rose of Guns ‘n Roses.
Rose joined Joel to belt out a cover of the Paul McCartney & Wings classic ‘Live and Let Die’, which he also covered with Guns ‘n Roses, AC/DC’s ‘Highway To Hell’, which he knew well as the fill-in in AC/DC for Brian Johnson for some of the Rock or Bust shows in 2016 and he was back for the encore for the last song, Joel’s classic hit ‘You May Be Right’.
