Billy Joel was joined by two very special guests for his only European show of the year in Cardiff, Wales on Friday August 9 – his youngest daughters, Della and Remy.

Video shared by Billy after the performance, taken from the side of the stage, saw the two girls on stage with their father as he sang the hit single "My Life".

With Della prancing along the front of the stage singing along, and Remy sitting on the piano and swinging her legs, the two girls looked at home as they waved to the tens of thousands in the crowd. See the sweet moment here…

They met in 1983 in St Barts and they soon struck up a romance, marrying in March 1985 on a yacht on the Hudson River in New York. Nine months later, they welcomed their daughter who is also a singer, songwriter, and pianist.

Alexa is close with her father, and has also joined Billy on stage, including multiple times at Madison Square Garden residency,,which ended earlier this year.

The 38-year-old  has also been open about her depression, revealing in an interview with 20/20 that she wanted to "move out of (the) shadows" of her "two megastar parents".
