Hugh Jackman Discusses Joan Rivers' "Uplifting" Funeral: WATCH
Hugh Jackman performed at the funeral of the late great Joan Rivers and he recounted the experience to Jimmy Fallon.
As per Joan's final requests, Jackman sang "Quiet Please, There's a Lady on Stage" from his star turn in the Broadway musical about famed gay singer-songwriter Peter Allen, The Boy from Oz:
It's a beautiful celebration of a woman and it was for her. The entire audience in the synagogue got up and started clapping and cheering. The whole thing was very uplifting, very touching and moving, but funny....When the bagpipes came out at the end, everyone just started laughing....She was an amazing woman and it was an appropriate send-off. I felt honored to be a part of it.
