Billy Joel, a 77-year-old Rock 'n' roll Hall of Famer, has provided a health update to his fans. He revealed that he had brain surgery to relieve symptoms of normal pressure hydrocephalus, a condition he was diagnosed with in May 2025. Joel noticed issues with his balance and had a sensation of rocking on a boat, which led him to see a doctor after falling during a concert.
The singer had a brain shunt and is telling his fans not to worry about him. He assured them that he is okay and not going anywhere. Joel shared this update on his SiriusXM channel.
Further details about his health and condition are available from the source.
