Billy Joel speaks out about rumors he's had DUIs in new documentary
The Piano Man is defending his reputation. In the newly released second part of the HBO documentary 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes,' the 76-year-old music icon responded to the longstanding rumor that he's gotten multiple DUIs over the years. 'You know, along with fame comes a lot of gossip, rumors. I didn't like the tabloid kind of press,' Joel said in the doc. 'For example, there's this rumor that I have all these DUIs. That never happened, but people keep repeating the myth: 'Oh, he's got so many DUIs.'' Advertisement 6 Billy Joel performs at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas in Nov. 2024. Getty Images 'I never had a DUI,' he added, 'so f–k you.' Joel was first accused of drinking behind the wheel when he crashed a Mercedes-Benz in East Hampton, New York in June 2002. Less than a year later, he drove into a tree in Sag Harbor and had to be airlifted to a hospital. Advertisement 6 Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden in NYC in June 2023. Getty Images The 'Uptown Girl' singer suffered another accident in April 2004 when he crashed into a house in Long Island. The rumors about Joel led to 'Saturday Night Live' referencing his alleged drunk driving in a 2004 sketch that featured Horatio Sanz, who played the singer, chugging a bottle of pineapple schnapps and crashing into several walls and mailboxes while driving a group of girls to a party. However, Joel has repeatedly denied that he's ever gotten a DUI. Advertisement 6 Billy Joel performs in Melbourne, Australia in Dec. 2022. WireImage 'I had gone through a breakup and was really broken up about it, and I decided, 'I'm drinking too much. I should go to rehab,'' Joel told The New York Times Magazine in 2013. 'But people made a connection, like, 'Oh, he went there because he was in a car accident from drinking.' No.' 'I never had a DUI in my life,' he stated. 'That's another fallacy. Look at the police records.' 6 Billy Joel on Father's Day 2025. billyjoel/Instagram Advertisement In his documentary, Joel called the press 'mean' and admitted that he doesn't always enjoy being in the spotlight. 'Having that much attention paid to you is not easy,' he said. In 2005, Joel entered rehab following what he called an 'ultimatum' from his then-wife, Katie Lee. He entered the Betty Ford Center for a stint, then temporarily stopped touring once his time at the center was over. 6 Billy Joel attends MSG Entertainment and Billy Joel special franchise announcement at Chase Square at Madison Square Garden.

Man Gets Lego Gift After Fighting Brain Cancer—What He Builds Shocks Wife
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. For a couple online, grand romantic gestures take focused mental work—but they are so worth it. In a TikTok video, Alli Young revealed the simple, yet elaborate, act of her husband, Brett, delivering her water bottle via a massive Lego crane—something she said truly defines their relationship. Young told Newsweek about the engineering feat that has gone viral with over 223,000 likes. "Oh, your man likes to go out and party and doesn't text you back for hours on end? That's cool, mine delivers me my water bottle via a Lego crane that he spent all weekend building," Young captioned the video, which shows the large, intricate Lego crane delivering her bottle. Photos from Alli Young's TikTok video of her husband's crane Lego invention entering the room. Photos from Alli Young's TikTok video of her husband's crane Lego invention entering the room. @allliyoung/TikTok Young, who described her husband as a "huge LEGO collector since he was a kid," shared that Brett boasts a collection of around 150,000 pieces. The specific crane featured in the video was a Father's Day gift from her. "He spent every spare second over two days building it," Young said. "He works in construction management." While Young herself admitted she has never been into Lego, she said she deeply appreciates Brett's passion: "When he builds something he's proud of, it always makes me happy to see," she added. "It's like he gets transported back to being a little kid, and it's honestly just very fun to watch." The nine-second clip, Young said, offers a glimpse into the couple's unique dynamic. "You get a good idea of who we are, which sounds dumb, but hear me out," she added, describing Brett as "very meticulous and likes things done a certain way," while she is "the more extroverted, 'out there' one." The water-bottle delivery perfectly illustrates their balance of personalities, Young said: "Me asking him to bring me my water bottle and him using the crane to do it is his fun, playful side, but then you watch him at the end looking around the corner to make sure it makes it over the rug—back to his meticulous side showing through." Inspired by the overwhelming positive response to the video, Young said that Brett has now started his own TikTok account to show off more of his Lego collection. The story behind Brett's dedication to Lego, though, goes much deeper than just a hobby. Two years ago, their lives were shaken when they found out that Brett had a brain tumor. During his recovery from a craniotomy to remove the cancer, all of his friends put money together to buy him a huge Lego set to build while he was recovering. Young said she firmly believes that "the combination of doing something he loved and doing something to physically help his brain was what helped him heal." And, today, Brett is fully recovered, cancer-free and starting to teach the couple's 2-year-old daughter how to build small Lego sets. For Young, even though she doesn't fully understand the appeal of Lego, as she concluded: "I can see how much he loves it, which makes me love it just a little bit."
