Very touching: Bill Murray staged a surprise concert in a New York park

Bill Murray brought joy and warmth to a cold park Washington Square. On January 19, he held a surprise concert performing several songs, including I Feel Pretty, according to Page Six.

For the performance, the 71-year-old comedian teamed up with his frequent accompanists, cellist Jan Vogler, violinist Mira Wang and pianist Vanessa Perez.

Calling on passers-by to sing along to It Ain't Necessarily So, Murray recited "Dog" by beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who he noted "had spent some time in this park" as featured in his poetry.

The Lost In Translation star then added some sweet lines to I Feel Pretty, followed by Rita Moreno's America from West Side Story.
