NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess) — After postponing a run of concerts in March, Billy Joel announced the cancellation of all upcoming dates following a diagnosis of the chronic brain disorder Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH).
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke describes NPH as an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) deep within the brain which can keep it from functioning properly and cause brain damage or even death.
According to the statement from Joel’s team, the 76-year-old musician’s condition has been exacerbated by his recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance. On the advice of his doctors, he has been undergoing 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 Billy Joel, noting that he is looking forward to returning to the stage.
