Episode Synopsis

The legendary Billy Joel has announced the difficult decision to cancel all his upcoming concerts across North America and England after being diagnosed with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH). This condition, which affects the brain, involves enlarged fluid-filled spaces within the brain despite normal spinal fluid pressure. NPH can cause problems with gait (walking), cognitive function, and urinary control. For Billy Joel, recent performances exacerbated his symptoms, leading to issues with hearing, vision, and balance. Under his doctor's instructions, he is currently undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period. Billy Joel expressed his sincere apologies to his audience for the disappointment but emphasized that his health must come first. He is thankful for the care he is receiving and is committed to prioritizing his recovery, looking forward to the day he can return to the stage. #BillyJoel #NormalPressureHydrocephalus #NPH #HealthUpdate #ConcertCancellation #MusicNews #Recovery #Brain #Cancel #Brain Disorder Watch on YouTube with subtitles: https://youtu.be/38j1HEkeeQY?si=KHMaB-eGOmRZhUWq Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/tw/podcast/what-the-study-says/id1814559387 FLink: https://open.firstory.me/user/cmao5odis0eyf01w36mahd8ub/platforms Tell us what you think: https://open.firstory.me/user/cmao5odis0eyf01w36mahd8ub/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting
