U.S. singer-songwriter and pianist Billy Joel had stated that he will cancel all his scheduled concerts after he was recently diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a brain disorder.
The 76-year-old singer is undergoing physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing while he recovers, according to a statement on social media.
With global album sales of more than 150 million, Billy Joel’s songs are renowned for their vivid narratives and deeply relatable themes. He often paints pictures of everyday life, struggles, dreams, and relationships that resonate with a wide audience. Songs like “Piano Man,” “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant,” “Allentown,” and “New York State of Mind” are great examples of his ability to craft compelling stories with a strong sense of place and character.
