Billy Joel's ex-wife left him in hospital after motorcycle accident.

In the upcoming documentary "Billy Joel: And So It Goes," 76-year-old Billy Joel reflects on some of the most challenging moments of his life, including his first wife Elizabeth Weber leaving their marriage after his near-fatal motorcycle accident. Despite his love for motorcycles, Weber was fearful of the danger they posed, and her warnings proved true when Joel was severely injured in a crash in 1982. Weber decided to end their marriage while Joel was recovering in the hospital. The couple, who were married from 1973 to 1982, struggled with the pressures of Joel's demanding career and personal stresses, leading to significant challenges in their relationship. Joel also reveals his feelings of guilt and depression stemming from his affair with Weber, who was married to his best friend at the time, leading to two suicide attempts. Despite the difficulties, Joel acknowledges the support he received from friends and family during those dark times.
