In May 2025, Billy Joel was diagnosed with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH), a rare but treatable brain condition that affects balance, vision, and hearing. This diagnosis has led to the cancellation of his 2025 and 2026 tour dates. Additionally, Joel has announced the closure of his Long Island motorcycle shop, 20th Century Cycles, and plans to auction off his extensive motorcycle collection due to health concerns. Despite these challenges, Joel reassures fans that he is "okay" and is undergoing physical therapy to manage the condition.
