There doesn't appear to be a definitive answer, the best I could find is that there was a falling out between DeVitto and Joel over Billy's biography.

"There are many stories floating around out there, and I'm sure most, if not all of them are laced with false rumors. I can tell you that the story I heard was that DeVitto was upset with some of the things Joel told Hank Bordowitz for his Billy Joel biography, Billy Joel: The Life & Times of an Angry Young Man (which, by the way, I thought was excellent), and that this led to a falling out between the two to such an extent that DeVitto didn't even attend Joel's most recent wedding to Katie Lee. Wikipedia, by the way, is strangely silent on the whole thing, both on the Billy Joel page and on the Liberty DeVitto page."

P.S. I know this isn't Billy Joel singing in the video
