Billy Joel spoke of a dark part of his life.
In the first half of Billy Joel: And that’s okayTHE Piano The singer’s documentary, the 76 -year -old, tried to take her life twice, then fell into a coma after having a liaison with the wife of her former group comrade.
While at the beginning of the twenty, Joel, who missed the first of the documentary, was in a group, attracted with his best friend, Jon Small.
He moved with Small, his son and Elizabeth Weber, who was Small’s wife at the time. “Bill and I spent a lot of time together,” said Elizabeth in the documentary.
When Small started to suspect her and Joel, the musician came to him with the truth: “I am in love with your wife.”
“I felt very, very guilty about it. They had a child. Uptown girl Crooner admitted, adding: “I was just in love with a woman and I was struck in the nose that 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 took off, the singer and pianist started drinking.
“I had no place to live. I was sleeping in the laundries and I was depressed, I think that to the point of being almost psychotic,” he revealed in the documentary.
Joel continued: “So I said to myself:” That’s it. I don’t want to live anymore. “I just had a lot of pain and it was a bit like:” Why go out? So I just thought I would finish everything. “”
After his first unsuccessful attempt, Joel admitted that he was “very selfish” at the time and remembered to wake up in the hospital thinking that he wanted to do it again, but this time “on the right”.
He then made follies on a bottle of “Citan Gleed”, and it was finally small who took him to the hospital.
“Even if our friendship exploded, Jon saved my life for me,” joel told what little one added, “he never really told me.
