Billy Joel feels ‘good’ after brain disorder diagnosis

Billy Joel says that he feels “good” two months after he announces his diagnosis with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).

Five times Grammy winners, who spoke at Bill Maher’s Club random podcast, said that his situation was still working on it, and struggling with his balance.

“I feel good, they continue to refer to what I have as a brain disorder, so it sounds much worse than I feel.” He said.

After Joel told him that his doctors were “worsening with the latest performances,” he had to cancel a series of concert history in May this year.

NPH Defined by NHS As a rare and poorly understood situation that affects people over 60 years of age.

The condition causes a fluid formation that may affect hearing, vision and mobility in the brain.

The 76 -year -old singer Instagram shared on the original statement, Joel’s condition for “specific” physical therapy and “determined to give full priority to health” was said.

In a separate article, his wife Alexis Joel wrote that the family is “grateful for the great care and fast diagnosis we have received” and that they are hopeful for a quick recovery.

Joel performed 17 planned performance in North America and Europe in North America and Europe in 2025 and 2026, including stadium shows in Murrayfield and Liverpool in Edinburgh.

Joel, known for hits like Uptown Girl and Piano Man, is on a regular tour in recent years. Last year, Madison Square Garden, New York, ended a decade of residence that lasted a record -breaking residence.

His latest performance fell on his back during his performance after he laid a microphone stand in the crowd in February 2025.

After a short time, he announced that his tour was postponed and referred to a medical situation that required to receive physical therapy as part of his recent surgery.
