Billy Joel, the American singer, has canceled all upcoming tour dates after being diagnosed with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH).
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a condition that happens when cerebrospinal fluid builds up inside your skull and presses on your brain.
The 76-year-old music icon’s management announced the decision in a statement on Friday, citing worsening symptoms that have affected his hearing, vision, and balance.
Joel’s team revealed that his recent performances had exacerbated his condition, leading doctors to advise him to stop performing immediately and focus on recovery through specialized physical therapy.
“Billy Joel has announced that he will be cancelling all scheduled concerts following a recent diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (PH),” the statement reads.
“This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance.
“Under his doctor’s instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period.
“Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health.
“He is grateful for the support from fans during this time and looks forward to the day when he can once again take the stage.
“You don’t need to take any action to receive your refund. It will be automatically processed back to the original payment used for the purchase.
“Please be aware that the refund will go to the original purchaser if the tickets were transferred to you.”
