Billy Joel to Auction Motorcycle Collection After NPH Diagnosis

The lease on his Oyster Bay motorcycle shop ends in September, reflecting his ongoing pause from live performances because of balance, hearing and vision problems.

Nach der Diagnose einer Hirnerkrankung versteigert Pop-Legende Billy Joel seine zahlreichen Motorräder. "Aufgrund einer kürzlich erfolgten medizinischen Diagnose wird Billy seine Motorradsammlung noch in diesem Jahr versteigern", teilte sein Pressesprecher mit.

Overview

  • His press spokesperson confirmed more than 75 bikes will be auctioned by year-end following his normal pressure hydrocephalus diagnosis.
  • The collection remains on weekend display at 20th Century Cycles in Oyster Bay until the lease expires at the end of September.
  • Joel will not renew the shop’s lease, marking the closure of the long-running display venue.
  • He canceled all scheduled concerts and scrapped a U.S. tour slated for July 2025–July 2026 after his May NPH diagnosis.
  • His symptoms of hearing, vision and balance issues worsened after recent performances, prompting the decision to liquidate the high-profile asset.
