The two-part film premieres on HBO Max on July 18, and gives fans a glimpse into the musician's "love, loss, and struggles that fuel his songwriting"

Cohen, who is interviewed in the documentary, along with Joel’s family members, friends, band members, ex-wives, his oldest daughter, people instrumental in his career, and fellow music legends like Paul McCartney, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, and others, helped convince Joel to appear on camera – something Joel originally didn’t want to do.

Billy Joel: And So It Goes airs starting on Friday, July 18, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on HBO, while part two broadcasts the following Friday, July 25, at the same time. The easiest way to get HBO is with a subscription to HBO Max.
