Sing her a song, you’re the piano man!

Billy Joel serenaded ex-wife Christie Brinkley during a concert on Friday at Madison Square Garden, where the musician has long had a popular residency. 

A video posted to TikTok showed the model, 70, smiling and dancing along to “Uptown Girl” — up on the jumbotron, for all to see — as Joel sang the hit 1983 song that will be forever associated with Brinkley.

Joel, aged 74, drew inspiration from Brinkley while composing the tune, during his relationship with then-girlfriend Elle Macpherson. Brinkley, who was wed to Joel from 1985 to 1994, notably starred in the music video for “Uptown Girl.” Their daughter, 38-year-old Alexa Ray Joel, also joined them onstage, adding her voice to the performance.

The duo performed “To Sir With Love” and “Say Goodbye to Hollywood,” Us Weekly reported.

This wasn’t the first time Brinkley has supported her ex at MSG. 

Nearly 10 years ago, she sat front row at a concert, along with another former husband, Peter Cook, and her daughter Sailor Brinkley Cook, 25. Like last week, Instagram videos showed her beaming as Joel played “Uptown Girl.”

Brinkley, who has tied the knot four times, never remarried after breaking things off with Cook.

In January, she told People, ‘There just doesn’t seem to be anybody out there. I am pretty comfortable with my life the way it is, so, que será, será!'”

Joel has been married to Alexis Roderick since 2015. They have two daughters together.
