Billy Joel's 'Most Traumatic' Career Regret Still Haunts Him 50 Years Later originally appeared on Parade. Billy Joel is finally revealing one of the “most traumatic” decisions of his legendary career, and it involves turning down a Beatles icon who could have changed everything.

Billy Joel is clearing the air on a long-standing rumor -- he’s never had a DUI. In his new HBO documentary "Billy Joel: And So It Goes," the music legend directly addresses speculation he racked up multiple DUIs in the early 2000s during a string of car accidents.

However, there is one rumor that has persisted about the Piano Man for decades, and Joel addressed it head on in HBO's new two-part documentary, Billy Joel: And So It Goes. It has to do with a number of car accidents Joel had in the early 2000s when he was retreating from the public spotlight.
