Billy Joel's new documentary, "Billy Joel: And So It Goes," reveals he attempted suicide twice after an affair with his best friend's wife. The affair ended his band and friendship, leading to depression and two suicide attempts; one involving sleeping pills, resulting in a coma, and another involving furniture polish. His best friend saved his life, and Joel channeled his pain into his music. He later married the woman involved. The documentary premieres at the Tribeca Festival and will air on HBO in July. Resources for mental health support are provided.
