The legendary musician's life is getting the documentary treatment in the new HBO film 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes'

Billy Joel still likes to get away, according to his Instagram page, which posted a video of him visiting Manhattan and chatting with surprised fans. Though he likely didn’t take a Greyhound from his home in Florida, Joel can be seen pulling up in a car next to a pedicab driver who is blasting his 1976 anthem "New York State of Mind."

Almost five hours in length, the two-part look at the hard-to-pin-down artist flows effortlessly, making for a riveting watch even for those coming to it with little affection for his work.

Billy Joel opens up about the new HBO documentary 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes' — and why he "resisted" revealing the highs and lows of his life and career — in this week's issue of PEOPLE.

Billy Joel surprised a pedicab driver and his passengers who were cruising down the streets of the Big Apple on Monday afternoon. The five-time Grammy Award winner shared the sweet street-side moment he rolled up on the bicycle transportation service, shocking the driver who was blasting Joel’s 1976 hit “New York State of Mind.”

Five-time Grammy winner Billy Joel is a four-time husband. The legendary singer-songwriter, who’s currently married to Alexis Roderick Joel, said “I do” to three other women before he wed his final match in 2015.

The “Piano Man," speaking on Bill Maher's podcast, says doctors are working on his Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) condition, which impacts his balance and leaves him feeling "like being a boat."

Weber and Joel first met in the late 1960s, as he was best friends and bandmates with Jon Small, Weber’s then-husband. In 1969, for the sake of musical convenience and financial benefit, Joel moved in with the couple and their young son, Sean.
