JOEL SHRUGS OFF STINT IN REHAB
MY LIFE singer BILLY JOEL says his stay in rehab was inevitable, because everyone in show business develops addiction problems sooner or later.
The 56-year-old singer, who is currently playing sold-out shows at New York City's famed Madison Square Garden, is enjoying being sober after years fighting alcoholism.
He explains, "How many people in the entertainment have gone into rehab? Just about everybody? Name me the people who haven't.
"It was my time to go. Everybody goes. It's like getting your teeth cleaned. You've got to go eventually. It's like 'mental' floss.'"
