Publisher HarperCollins has announced today that the Piano Man's book will take readers on an “emotional ride” from his tough early life to the writing of his classic hits, such as New York State Of Mind and Just The Way You Are.
In the book, the 61-year-old Grammy Award winner talks candidly about his marriage to former supermodel Christie Brinkley and his battles with substance abuse and depression.
He also reflects upon fatherhood and the ups and downs of being a rock star.
The Book Of Joel is due to be released on 14 June.
