In the HBO documentary “Billy Joel: And So It Goes,” the singer-songwriter opens up about a dark period in his life when he attempted suicide twice after betraying his best friend by having an affair with his friend’s wife. Joel struggled with guilt and depression, feeling like a home wrecker and a lost soul. With the help of his friend, he sought psychiatric help, turned his life around, and channeled his experiences into the music that led to his successful solo career.
