The performance came on the heels of a rally by neo-Nazis and other groups in Charlottesville, Virginia, ended in deadly violence against counterprotesters.
When asked about Joel’s attire, his spokeswoman on Tuesday quoted Edmund Burke: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Joel joined with Patty Smyth on stage in taking a swipe at President Donald Trump’s administration. Photos of fired officials appeared on screen as Smyth sang her hit, “Goodbye to You.”
Joel’s ex-wife Christie Brinkley and their daughter Alexa attended the concert.
