“Welcome to the party, pal!” These iconic words could very well have been echoing through lower Manhattan on Wednesday night, as two of Bruce Willis’s closest supporters gathered to honor him. Emma Heming Willis, his current wife, and Demi Moore, his former spouse, united to celebrate the legendary actor.

In a star-studded evening hosted by the Soho Sessions, renowned musicians like Keith Richards, Mavis Staples, Norah Jones, and Warren Hayes took to the stage. Their performances served not only to entertain but also to spotlight an important cause: raising awareness and support for The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD).

Bruce Willis, now 70, stepped away from his illustrious acting career in March 2022 following his diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia, a condition confirmed in 2023. Despite his retirement, the impact of his work and the love from those closest to him remain steadfast.

Emma, who has been married to Bruce since 2009, stood by his side as they shared the spotlight with their two daughters, Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11. The evening was a testament to the enduring bond of family and friends rallying together in support of a beloved star.

He and Emma, 47, who married in 2009, share two daughters, Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11.

Willis and Moore, 62, who were married from 1987 to 2000, share three daughters, Rumer, 37, Scout, 34, and Talullah, 31.

The two women enjoy a close relationship and released the statement regarding Bruce’s condition together with their daughters.

Emma opened the evening by telling the packed crowd that she “obviously wished Bruce could be here, but he’s here in spirit.”

She also shared that when Soho Sessions founders Nicole Rechter and Greg Williamson came to her with the idea for the intimate concert, she enthusiastically replied, “F–k yeah! Can we please have some fun?”

“As Bruce would say, ‘Live it up.’ Let’s all continue to live it up and have fun,” she added before thanking AFTD for all they have done for her family.

Richards sang three songs, including the Chuck Berry classic, “Run Rudolph Run,” after telling the crowd that he and the “Moonlighting” alum became friends when they were neighbors in Turks and Caicos.

Other celebs rocking out in the cozy setting included Michael J. Fox, Tracy Pollan, Jeff Ross, Steve Guttenberg, Steve Schirripa, Samantha Ronson (who came with Moore), Andrew McCarthy, Jillian Martin, Richards’ wife, Patti Hansen, and their daughters, Theodora and Alexandra. Richard’s longtime manager Jane Rose was also spotted rocking out to her client.

Also present were Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, who sat next to Whoopi Goldberg.

A spy told Page Six that Sedgwick joked that she picked a terrible time to use the bathroom as Richards was going on stage.
