Legendary singer-songwriter Billy Joel has announced the cancellation of 17 shows across North America and England due to his recent diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus.
Joel’s team said that the condition has been exacerbated by recent performances, “leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance.” Joel will be undergoing “specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period.”
“I’m sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding,” said Joel in a statement posted to Instagram.
The statement concludes with Joel and his team sharing gratitude “for the support from fans during this time and looks forward to the day when he can once again take the stage.” Ticket refunds will be issued.
