He is grateful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health,” the statement read.
In a personal note to fans, Joel said, “I’m sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding.”
The announcement comes just months after Joel postponed several tour dates for what was initially described as a medical condition requiring surgery.
In one of his final performances in February, Joel fell while attempting to toss his microphone to a stagehand—an incident now seen as an early sign of his health complications.
Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus affects roughly 0.3% of adults aged 70 to 80, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Treatment often involves surgically placing a shunt to drain excess fluid and relieve pressure on the brain.
Despite the cancellations, Joel’s team emphasized that he remains optimistic and focused on recovery.
