Billy Joel canceled his upcoming concerts following a recent diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus.

The announcement was made Friday in a statement shared across his social media accounts.

According to a recent statement, the condition has worsened due to recent concert performances, which have caused issues with hearing, vision, and balance.

The “Piano Man” singer, 76, is currently receiving treatment.

Following his doctor’s recommendations, Billy is engaging in targeted physical therapy and has been advised to avoid performances during his recovery. He expresses gratitude for the excellent care he is receiving and is committed to making his health a top priority.

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus occurs when cerebrospinal fluid accumulates inside the skull, exerting pressure on the brain. It primarily affects individuals over 65, as noted by the Cleveland Clinic.

The Cleveland Clinic says the condition is often treatable and sometimes reversible. Symptoms can include difficulty walking, incontinence and dementia.

Joel said in a statement that he was “sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding.”

The list of canceled shows can be viewed here.
