You hear the Billy Joel classic hit, ‘Uptown Girl’ and you can’t help but picture Christie Brinkley, Billy’s former wife, dancing in the music video, below. That was 1983. Flashforward to 2024 when Christie was seen dancing to the song at Billy’s final Madison Square Garden performance. The pair was married in 1985 but unfortunately divorced in ’94. And since they’ve stayed on good terms, of course she wouldn’t miss Billy’s final show at MSG.
