Billy Joel opened on a dark part of his life.
In the first half of Billy Joel: And so he leaveshe Piano man The singer’s documentary, the 76 -year -old man, tried to take his life twice and then fell into a coma after having an adventure with his former bandmate.
While he was just over 20 years old, Joel, who lost the premiere of the documentary, was in a band, Attila with his best friend, Jon Small.
He moved with Small, his son and Elizabeth Weber, who was Small’s wife at that time. “Bill and I spent a lot of time together,” Elizabeth said in the documentary.
When Small began 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 because of that. They had a child. I felt like a housing clash,” the City girl Crooner confessed, adding: “I was in love with a woman and hit me in the nose she deserved. Jon was very upset. I was very upset.”
This confrontation marked the end of Atila, as well as Joel’s friendship with Small and, while Weber took off, the singer and the pianist began to drink.
“It had no place to live. I was sleeping in laundry and was depressed, I think that to the point of almost being psychotic,” he revealed in the documentary.
Joel continued: “So I thought: ‘That’s. I don’t want to live anymore.’ I had a lot of pain and it was like, ‘why spend the time? So, I just thought everything would end.”
After his first failed attempt, Joel acknowledged that he was “very selfish” at that time and remembered waking up at the hospital thinking that he wanted to do it again, but this time “correct.”
Then he wasted a bottle of “lemon commitment”, and finally it was small who took him to the hospital.
“Although our friendship was exploding, Jon saved my life,” Joel told what Small added: “He never really told me anything. The only practical answer I can give about why Billy took it so hard was because he loved me so much and that he killed me so much.
