"Every time he sings, it reminds me we have a little juice left in us," Clinton said Sunday at the music legend's 60th birthday celebration at Madison Square Garden. It was also the 60th time that John had performed at the arena.

Besides Clinton, celebrities who turned out included actress-model Elizabeth Hurley, Whoopi Goldberg, Sharon Stone, Richard Gere, Jon Bon Jovi, Robin Williams and Keifer Sutherland

The birthday boy took the stage with a gospel choir backing him up as he played songs such as "60 Years On" and "Take Me To The Pilot."
