Billy Joel welcomed Jonas Brothers star Joe on stage during his headline gig at BST Hyde Park for a performance of Uptown Girl.
The piano man closed out Saturday’s edition of the three-week event with a career-spanning set, with the Waffle House singer documenting the entire process from rehearsal and soundcheck through to the big moment on his Instagram page.
In the first clip, he teases: “I’m doing something, really exciting today. Bucket list — major bucket list. Quite nervous. But the person I sang with is incredible and made me feel very comfortable.”
Heading to the stage to join Joel and the London crowd, he shares in the next video: “The sun is officially down or about to be down. I’m just walking to stage. My friend is on his last song, can you hear it? And I’m about to go and join him up there. Wish me luck!”
He’s later seen onstage hugging Joel, before the duo perform the music legend’s hit song to an upbeat crowd. After hugging one final time, Joe waves to the crowd and says “Thank you!” while exiting the stage.
“This still feels unreal,” he shares in the caption. “Thank you to my friend @billyjoel for having me on stage to sing ‘Uptown Girl’ with you tonight in Hyde Park. You’ve been a big inspiration to me and this was a bucket list moment. Life made.”
