Billy Joel Cancels All Concerts After Brain Disorder Diagnosis


Billy Joel has been diagnosed with the brain disorder Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Diagnosis and has cancelled all of his upcoming concerts.

Billy Joel is cancelling every concert on his itinerary, 17 shows in total booked at stadiums across North America and England, due to a recent diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH). One month later, Joel announced that he was taking a four-month break from the road due to a “medical condition” that required surgery and physical therapy. He hasn’t released an album of new pop songs since 1993’s River of Dreams, though in February 2024, he teamed up with songwriter/producer Freddy Wexler on the single ” Turn the Lights Back On.” He premiered the track at the Grammys that month and performed it live a handful of times, but it left his set in June and never reappeared.
