During a recent dinner with fellow radio legend, Howard Stern (71), Billy Joel (76) dropped a positive note. Stern reported that Joel said, "Yeah, you can tell people I'm not going to kick the bucket." Stern went ahead and shared that tidbit from their friendly meet-up.
Now, why the break from Billy's concert schedule? Old age ain't what it used to be, and Joel's been diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a condition that affects his hearing, vision, and balance[2][3]. It all started after a tumble on stage back in February, and his recent performances have only worsened his condition.
Health concerns, hearing problems, and balance issues - you'd think that'd be enough for one guy, but no worries, our man Billy is keeping his chin up. Under the advice of his doctor, he's undergoing specialized physical therapy and taking it easy to get back on track[1][5].
