After a handful of cancellations earlier this year, Billy Joel has now cancelled all of his scheduled concert dates. The musician announced the news with an Instagram post, wherein he also shared a diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus. The condition has led to “problems with hearing, vision and balance,” reads the statement, problems that have been exacerbated during recent performances. “Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period,” the statement continues. “He is grateful for the support from fans during this time and looks forward to the day when he can once again take the stage.”
