Billy Joel Shares Health Update Amid Brain Disorder Diagnosis
Legendary musician Billy Joel reassures fans about his health following a recent announcement of his rare brain disorder diagnosis.
On Tuesday’s episode of SiriusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show,” the iconic singer-songwriter, Billy Joel, provided an encouraging update on his health to his close friend and radio host, Howard Stern. Two weeks after revealing his battle with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH), a brain condition causing fluid build-up, the 76-year-old emphasized, “I’m not dying!”
Howard Stern, on the show, shared details of their recent dinner, where Billy expressed his determination to continue making music for his fans, stating, “I’m planning to stick around for ‘the longest time’.” The cancellation of all upcoming concerts up to July 2026 due to his health condition serves as a priority for the music legend’s well-being.
Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, affecting just 0.2 percent of individuals in their 70s, has sidelined the beloved “Piano Man” temporarily from his performances. Despite this setback, Billy Joel’s resilience and positive outlook on his health journey remain unwavering.
