Billy Joel’s recent concert
People who were witnessing the grand live performance of Billy Joel were already living a dream. Little did they know that there happened to be another huge surprise right around them, within the crowd.
Recently, when the We Didn’t Start Fire singer was giving out a power-packed live act, the audience couldn’t help but notice that his ex-wife, Christie Brinkley, was present in the crowd as well.
And this moment was shown on a huge screen during the gig at Madison Square Garden.
During this absolutely magnificent concert that was held on April 26, a fan happened to capture this epic moment and share it on social media.
One could witness Christie Brinkley grooving to the track that Billy Joel was singing on stage. The video that was uploaded on TikTok, showed the 70-year-old model watching her ex-husband give out a performance of the track that was originally meant for her.
The social media video showed Brinkley gazing from the crowd while Joel was singing Uptown Girl.
As per the text over the video, “Billy Joel wrote ‘Uptown Girl’ about his then-partner Christie Brinkley.”
It also read, “Tonight she watched him sing the song he wrote about her to all of Madison Square Garden.”
Further in the caption of the video, the uploader added, “40 years later, and your ex-man is still grinning at you like that while he sings the song he wrote about how rich and hot you are?”
His history with Christie Brinkley
Even after the years of their divorce, both Christie Brinkley and Billy Joel have remained on good terms. The two had tied the knot on March 23, 1985.
As a couple, they then welcomed their daughter Alexa in December of that same year. However, the two got divorced after spending ten great years with each other in August of 1994.
It is said that the 1983 hit Uptown Girl, although being worked on while Joel was in a relationship with supermodel Elle Macpherson, was originally dedicated to his wife, Brinkley, who was also the model to star in the music video of this global hit.
