Billy Joel and his longtime-now-ex-drummer, Liberty DeVitto, have buried the hatchet.
15 years after leaving Billy’s band, Liberty got him to write the foreword for his memoir, LIBERTY: Life, Billy and the Pursuit of Happiness. It tells the story of his 30-year run with Long Island, New York’s most famous musician.
Liberty says “I needed to get over the bitterness and hurt that I still had for Billy — not keep harboring it. I was concentrating on the loss all the time, but I needed to think about the great times we had, the legendary music we made together, and all the lives we touched together.”
