Billy Joel reveals two suicide attempts and coma after affair with best friend's wife


Billy Joel is opening up like never before - revealing he attempted suicide twice and fell into a coma after having an affair with his best friend's wife.

The shocking confession comes in Billy Joel: And So It Goes, the upcoming HBO documentary about the 76-year-old music legend’s life, which premiered Wednesday at the Tribeca Festival in New York City. Joel's heartbreak and depression fueled his 1971 debut album Cold Spring Harbor, including the track She's Got a Way, inspired by Elizabeth. Meanwhile, Joel recently updated longtime friend Howard Stern on his health after revealing he’s been battling the brain condition called normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), which has impacted his 'hearing, vision, and balance.'
