Billy Joel reunites with Axl Rose, John Mayer at LA concert

Billy Joel has reunited with his pals Axl Rose and John Mayer at a recent concert in Los Angeles – watch footage of the guest performances below.

While performing at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on Saturday (October 12), the Piano Man surprised the Californian audience with two special guests: John Mayer and Guns N’ Roses’ Axl Rose.

Mayer was brought out as the first guest of the night, joining Joel for a rendition of ‘This Is The Time’. It is only the second time that the pair have performed this song together; the first time being in 2008.

Later on in the show, Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose joined Billy Joel onstage to perform a cover of Wings’ ‘Live and Let Die’. In July, Joel played his historic 150th – and last – show as part of his Madison Square Garden residency, bringing out Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose to perform a number of songs. He had been playing one show at the iconic venue every month since January 2014.

The two exclusive UK shows come just days after the ‘Piano Man’ took to social media to announce a string of new tour dates across the United States in 2025 with support from Sting and Stevie Nicks.
