Billy Joel in Good Spirits Following Brain Disorder Diagnosis
The iconic musician shares his health journey with fans post-diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus.
Billy Joel has expressed positivity regarding his health condition two months after being diagnosed with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH), a rare brain disorder. Speaking on the "Club Random" podcast, the 76-year-old artist disclosed that while he's experiencing balance issues, he feels "good" and is actively working on his recovery. Joel had to cancel several concerts earlier this year after his condition worsened due to recent performances. NPH, predominantly affecting those over 60, leads to fluid accumulation in the brain, impacting various physical functions. His wife, Alexis, shared their family's gratitude for the rapid diagnosis and care, as well as their expectations for his recovery. Despite the challenges, Joel continues to engage with his fans, emphasizing his commitment to health while maintaining his spirit. Notably, he has recently postponed performances including significant shows in Europe and North America, as he prioritizes medical treatment.
