Billy Joel, aged 76, announced his withdrawal from his 2025 tour due to a diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). The condition has worsened with his recent performances, affecting his hearing, vision, and balance. Recommended by his doctor, Joel is taking time for treatment and recovery after experiencing a fall onstage earlier this year. NPH, common among seniors, involves cerebrospinal fluid build-up, affecting cognitive functions. Joel expressed his regret over disappointing his fans during this difficult time.
I'm sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding.
This buildup is usually gradual enough that the pressure inside the skull increases, but stays within normal range.
