Billy Joel Joins Sting On Stage to Perform “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic”: Watch

Billy Joel and Sting celebrated the first of their co-headlining tour dates in Tampa Bay by covering each other’s songs — Joel joined Sting to perform The Police’s “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” and Sting accompanied Joel for a rendition of “Big Man on Mulberry Street.”

Sting took the stage first at Raymond James Stadium on Saturday night, and Billy Joel introduced his longtime pal by proclaiming, “I saw this guy when he came with his band to the States, and I was blown away. This was the late ’70s. I thought he was great then, and I think he’s great now. He’s one of my favorite musicians of all time.”

Joel stayed on stage to perform The Police classic, and Sting returned halfway through Joel’s set to duet “Big Man on Mulberry Street” with him. Watch clips of both performances below.

Billy Joel and Sting’s co-headlining date was the first of several “One Night Only” shows slated throughout the year — the two legends will team up for an April 13th show in San Diego, a September 27th show in St. Louis, and a pair of dates in San Antonio and Las Vegas in October and November. Meanwhile, Billy Joel will continue his solo residency at Madison Square Garden in New York and team up with fellow ’70s stalwarts Stevie Nicks and Rod Stewart for more U.S. headlining dates.
