Music legend Billy Joel has officially cancelled all upcoming concert dates after being diagnosed with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH), according to a statement released on his official website.
The statement revealed that recent live performances had exacerbated the effects of the condition, resulting in complications with Joel’s hearing, vision, and balance. Acting on medical advice, Joel has now commenced a specialised physical therapy program and will take a temporary break from performing.
“Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health,” the statement read. The artist also expressed his gratitude for the continued support from fans during this difficult period and remains hopeful about returning to the stage in the future.
In his own words, Joel shared a personal message to fans: “I’m sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding.”
While no timeline has been provided for his return, the statement makes clear that Joel’s focus will remain on recovery under medical supervision. The cancellation affects all scheduled performances, with fans encouraged to monitor official channels for updates.
