Billy Joel opened around a dark part of his life.

In the first half of Billy Joel: And then it goesThe Piano man Singer’s documentary, the 76-year-old tried to take his life twice and then fell into a coma after he had an affair with his former bandmate’s wife.

While he was in his early 20s, Joel, who missed the premiere of the documentary, was in a band, Attila with his best friend, Jon Small.

He moved in with Small, his son and Elizabeth Weber, who was Small’s wife at the time. “Bill and I spent a lot of time together,” Elizabeth said in the documentary.

When Small began to suspect her and Joel, the musician came to him with the truth, “I’m in love with your wife.”

“I felt very, very guilty of it. They had a child. I felt like a homework,” Uptown girl Crononer admitted and added, “I was just in love with a woman and I was beaten in the nose as I deserved. Jon was very upset. I was very upset.”

This confrontation marked the end of Attila as well as Joel’s friendship with small, and while Weber started, the singer and pianist began drinking.

“I had no place to live. I slept in laundry and I was depressed, I believe to the point he was almost psychotic,” he revealed in the documentary.

Joel continued, “So I was expecting, ‘That’s it. I don’t want to live anymore.’ I was just in a lot of pain and it was a bit like, ‘why hang out?

After his first unsuccessful attempt, Joel acknowledged that he was “very selfish” at the time and remembered to wake up in the hospital and thought he would do it again, but this time “right.”

Then he splurized on a bottle of “lemon promise” and it was eventually little who took him to the hospital.

“Although our friendship pop up, Jon saved my life,” said Joel, who little added, “he never really said anything to me. The only practical answer I can give why Billy took it so hard was because he loved me so much and that it killed him to hurt me so much. Eventually I forgave him.”
