Billy Joel To Pen Tell All Book

The Piano Man is revealing it all this summer. HarperCollins has announced details about Billy Joel’s “The Book of Joel,” coming out June 14th. The memoir will take fans on an “emotional ride” from the writing of such favorites as

“Just the Way You Are” and “New York State of Mind” to his broken marriage to Christie Brinkley and his struggles with depression and substance abuse. Joel’s editor said that “there is a lot in this book that he has never revealed before.” HarperCollins also released the cover photograph yesterday, a moody close-up of Joel taken in the 1990s.
