Billy Joel's documentary, "Billy Joel: And So It Goes," premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. Despite Joel's absence due to a recent brain disorder diagnosis, the film revealed personal details: his early aspirations for heavy metal, a love affair that cost him a friendship, a suicide attempt, and the origins of iconic songs like "Piano Man" and "Just the Way You Are." The documentary also touches on his conflicts with comparisons to Elton John, his loyalty to his band over George Martin, and the backlash from the Catholic Church for "Only the Good Die Young."
