Overview

• Billy Joel announced the cancellation of all scheduled concerts for 2025 and 2026 after being diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).
• The condition, which involves fluid buildup in the brain, has caused hearing, vision, and balance issues exacerbated by recent performances.
• Joel is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised by doctors to refrain from performing during his recovery.
• Fans will receive automatic refunds for all canceled shows, which included stops in North America and England.
• This decision follows earlier postponements and a minor fall on stage in February, as Joel focuses on his health after concluding his Madison Square Garden residency in 2024.
