Billy Joel will not attend the Tribeca Festival for the premiere of his documentary "And So It Goes" due to being diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a brain disorder affecting cognitive function. Joel, 76, also canceled his tour dates after his condition deteriorated from recent performances, causing issues with hearing, vision, and balance. The Tribeca Festival co-founders expressed their support for him, highlighting his significant cultural impact on New York City. Joel is focusing on recovery with the help of physical therapy and appreciates the support from his fans during this challenging time.
"Our hearts are with Billy Joel and his family following today's announcement. As a New York icon and global music legend, he has profoundly shaped the cultural fabric of this city."
"Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health. He is grateful for the support from fans during this time."
