Billy Joel at center for substance abuse.
Billy Joel has checked himself into a substance abuse and psychiatric hospital for a “personal problem,” his record label said Wednesday. The 53-year-old, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter is staying at Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Conn. Joel’s stay was first reported in Wednesday’s The Advocate of Stamford.
Although I'm always rooting for anyone to take that first step and ask for help (as a recovering addict myself) it's always helpful to other addicts when someone famous can admit their short-comings. It happens to the best of us.
