Billy Joel is not interested in confronting the past. The Piano Man hitmaker has pulled the plug on his million memoir, just months before it was set to hit bookstores.
The singer had managed an estimated $3 million advance from Harper Collins for an “emotional ride” into his past struggles including three marriages and drug addiction, the E! online reported.
“It took working on writing a book to make me realise that I’m not all that interested in talking about the past, and that the best expression of my life and its ups and downs has been and remains my music,” Joel said. The singer, a six Grammy Awards winner and the man behind evergreen hits like Uptown Girl, Piano Man and Movin’ Out has had a colourful past but it seems that he is not ready to talk about it publicly. It is also being reported that the singer did not like the way final product had shaped up and decided to back out before its June release.
