Billy Joel has announced the cancellation of all his upcoming concerts after being diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a brain disorder affecting his hearing, vision, and balance. The condition has worsened due to recent concert performances. Following medical advice, he is undergoing physical therapy and will refrain from performing to focus on recovery. Joel has expressed gratitude for the care he is receiving and has apologized to fans for the disappointment. This health challenge comes after his record-breaking residency at Madison Square Garden and precedes the premiere of a documentary about his life.
Normal pressure hydrocephalus is a condition where excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain's ventricles, affecting movement and cognitive functions, especially in older adults.
Billy Joel expressed gratitude for the exceptional care he has received for his condition and emphasized the importance of prioritizing his health during this challenging time.
