A new book written by author Hank Bordowitz reveals the lows singer Billy Joel sunk to over the years in a fight with depression and alcoholism. Joel reportedly drank furniture polish in a suicide attempt.

Police found the man wandering near the beach in Kent, England. His suit was soaking wet, as if he'd just been swimming in the water and he refused to speak to anyone, offering no clues to his past. He was taken to a psychiatric hospital where he was given pen and paper. He drew a picture of a grand piano and a Swedish flag. When authorities escorted him to the hospital's chapel, he sat at the piano and played classical musical for hours.
