Billy Joel, Elton John and Bad Blood
Digest more
Joel, who is now two years sober, first checked into rehab in 2002 at Connecticut’s Silver Hill Hospital. He entered rehab a second time in 2005 at New York City’s Betty Ford Center at the insistence of his then-wife, cookbook author Katie Lee, who issued him an “ultimatum.”
John’s full quote wasn’t exactly subtle. He blamed Joel’s alcoholism for tour cancellations, accused him of “coasting,” and described Joel’s rehab stints as “light,” quipping that when he went to rehab, he had to clean the floors, while Joel had TVs.
