Billy Joel cancels all future shows due to brain disorder
Billy Joel canceled all of his upcoming shows including a July performance at Yankee Stadium and a Citi Field show in August due to a normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) diagnosis.
The Alzheimer’s Association calls NPH “a brain disorder in which excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) accumulates in the brain’s ventricles, causing thinking and reasoning problems, difficulty walking, and loss of bladder control.”
The 76-year-old piano man posted notice of the cancellations on Instagram Friday with a message claiming his “hearing, vision and balance” were being impaired by health problems. Joel’s statement said his condition had been exacerbated by performing live.
“I’m sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience and thank you for understanding,” Joel added.
Joel announced in March he was postponing upcoming performance to “recover from recent surgery and to undergo physical therapy under the supervision of his doctors.”
He didn’t offer specifics about the operation.
This is a developing story.
