Oh man…I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house. Every other performer was crammed side of stage to watch this bittersweet majesty unfold.

The emotional moment happened during a tribute concert on Wednesday (March 20) for O’Connor and fellow Irish artist Shane MacGowan at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
In fan-filmed footage from the show, Waters, barefoot and wearing a flowery dress, encourages the audience to sing along with the global smash. Waters joined a starring lineup of performers at the “St. Paddy’s Celebration,” which included Billy Bragg, David Gray, Amanda Palmer, Glen Hansard, Cat Power, Dropkick Murphys and more.
