The legendary rocker auctioned the Fender Stratocaster, his sole studio and stage guitar from 1970 to 1985, along with 56 others, at a charity auction to raise money for the Crossroads Center Antigua, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in the West Indies...

Last week it was a house in Bayville, N.Y., down the street from the Piano Man's Long Island estate. Joel says he was on his way to pick up a pizza when his vintage 1967 Citroen skidded off the wet road, through some shrubbery and into the home.
