Joel 'fit and healthy' and out of rehab
13/04/2005 - 09:05:36Rocker Billy Joel is "fit and healthy" after finishing his spell in rehab, according to friends.
The Uptown Girl star ended a 30-day spell at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California on Sunday morning - and pals say he is convinced he has finally kicked his alcohol addiction.
A friend says of Joel - who gave waiting paparazzi the slip by skipping out of the centre at 6.30am - says, "He looks really fit. He's dedicated to a healthy and sober lifestyle.
"Billy has completely sworn off all alcohol."
According to the New York Daily News, the 55-year-old's wife Kate Lee and their two dogs flew out from their Long Island, New York home to meet Joel before they all returned home together.
