Billy Joel documentary reveals he attempted suicide twice and was in a coma after affair with friend’s wife

Billy Joel's new documentary, "Billy Joel: And So It Goes," reveals his past struggles, including two suicide attempts following an affair with his bandmate's wife. The affair led to the band's breakup and a period of homelessness, depression, and suicidal ideation. Joel attempted suicide twice, once with sleeping pills and once with cleaning fluid. His bandmate ultimately saved his life, and he later sought help, channeling his pain into his music. The documentary premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival and airs on HBO in July.
