Billy Joel has made a political statement during an encore at his concert in Madison Square Garden in New York on Monday night (local time).
The 'Longest Time' singer donned a black jacket with a yellow Star of David on the front and back in protest of the recent rise in neo-Nazi and white supremacist activity, referencing the stars that Jewish people were forced to wear in Germany during the Holocaust.
Joel is Jewish, was raised by Jewish parents, and stated that several of his relatives died during the Holocaust.
The singer has previously said that he prefers to stay out of politics, but when asked for a comment Joel's spokesperson said that "the only thing necessary for good people to triumph is for good men to do nothing".
Joel also sang a duet of 'Goodbye to You' with Patti Smith, accompanied by a slideshow of images of fired members of the Trump Administration.
