Billy Joel Cancels All Concerts After Brain Disorder Diagnosis

[opus]

Sucks



>>>Billy Joel is cancelling every concert on his itinerary, 17 shows in total booked at stadiums across North America and England, due to a recent diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH).

“This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance,” reads a statement from Joel’s team. “Under his doctor’s instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period. Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health.”<<<

I heard about this and in all honesty I think it's truly a made-up story because when you look at the general picture Billy Joel is really healthy and he just recently had hip surgery and is doing well and then they claim he has a brain disorder and I cannot figure out where you can get a brain disorder from a hip surgery? The other theory I have when my father and I discussed this story is that Billy Joel simply is scared to return to touring and doing concerts for fear that he might injure his hip again and he mainly cancelled all his tour for more recovery time and I hope Billy has a nice apology to say to his fans about his tour being cancelled. But I think he will be on tour soon and perhaps work on a new album in the future

Lets hope it isnt real........

Billy Joel shares health update after brain disorder diagnosis: 'It sounds a lot worse than what I'm feeling'

>>>…where the topic turned to his diagnosis, a neurological disorder called normal pressure hydrocephalus.

"It's not fixed, it's still being worked on," Joel said, adding, "I feel fine." However, "my balance sucks," he said. "It's like being on a boat."

Joel said he initially thought the issue stemmed from drinking, noting that he used to drink "like a fish." He added when Maher noted that he looked good, "I feel good. They keep referring to what I have as a brain disorder, so it sounds a lot worse than what I'm feeling."<<<
