Billy Joel’s Health Crisis Revealed After He’s Forced to Cancel All Tour Dates

Legendary musician Billy Joel has announced the cancelation of all his upcoming concerts due to serious health issues.

The singer's decision follows a fall he experienced onstage earlier in February, raising alarms among fans who eagerly awaited his performances this summer.

The 76-year-old singer-songwriter has been diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).

According to a statement released on May 23, the condition, which affects hearing, vision and balance, has been exacerbated by his recent concert performances. Joel expressed his sentiments in a heartfelt note, stating, “I’m sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding.”

Joel’s health setbacks have become a matter of concern since his accident at a concert held at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut earlier this year. A viral video captured the moment as the musician stumbled while attempting to engage with the audience, leading to a fall that saw him land on his side.

In the clip, the performer appeared to recover quickly and continued on with the show.

Joel took to Instagram to share the unfortunate news of his canceled gigs, which included highly anticipated shows in New York City, New Orleans, Toronto, Santa Clara, Salt Lake City, Washington, D.C., and Liverpool.

"While I regret postponing any shows, my health must come first,” he previously stated on Instagram. “I look forward to getting back on stage and sharing the joy of live music with our amazing fans. Thank you for your understanding.” In his recent diagnosis, sources indicate that the pressures of touring have exacerbated Joel’s health struggles.

The "Uptown Girl" crooner is currently undergoing rigorous physical therapy under direct orders from his medical team and has been "advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period." “I’m thankful for the excellent care I am receiving and am fully committed to prioritizing my health. I am grateful for the support from fans during this time and look forward to the day when I can once again take the stage,” he added.

Joel has been married to his fourth wife, Alexis Roderick, 42, since 2015, and they share two daughters, Della, 9, and Remy, 7.

He is also dad to Alexa, 39, whom he shares with ex-wife Christie Brinkley.

"With a wife over 30 years younger and two kids still in school, he tries to keep up," an insider told RadarOnline. "He runs around like an Energizer bunny when in fact he's had his share of health issues, so it's not like he's the fittest guy out there."

The source warned: "Sometimes Billy thinks he's got nine lives, but age is catching up."
