Über diesen Titel
Billy Joel continues to navigate his health challenges while managing significant life changes as of late November 2025. The 76-year-old Piano Man revealed in May that he was diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a brain disorder affecting cerebrospinal fluid buildup in the skull. This condition has impacted his hearing, vision, and balance, leading him to cancel all tour dates for 2025 and 2026 under doctor's orders for physical therapy and recovery.
In a major business development, Joel closed his motorcycle shop, 20th Century Cycles in Oyster Bay, Long Island, in late September. According to his representative Claire Mercuri, he plans to sell off his motorcycle collection at auction later this year, citing his medical condition as the reason for stepping back from the business venture that had been a passion project.
On the personal front, his daughter Alexa Ray Joel shared encouraging updates about her father's commitment to recovery during an August visit. She noted significant lifestyle transformations, including dietary changes where Joel has embraced healthier eating habits like eggplant and chicken instead of his former steak preferences. Alexa also highlighted that his cognitive abilities remain sharp, with Joel's memory for album details and recording dates still impressive.
Joel appeared on Bill Maher's Club Random podcast in July, offering candid insights into his condition and describing his balance issues as feeling like he's constantly on a boat. Meanwhile, his ex-wife Christie Brinkley shared supportive messages on social media, and friend Howard Stern provided updates on his radio show in June, reassuring listeners that Joel is doing well.
The timing of these health battles coincided with the July premiere of HBO's two-part documentary "Billy Joel: And So It Goes," directed by Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin. The documentary explores his life and career evolution with unprecedented access to personal archives. Following the premiere, Joel released a massive 155-song companion album featuring unreleased recordings and demos spanning his entire career.
In a nostalgic moment from New Year's Eve at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, Joel surprised fans by bringing out Jason Bonham to perform Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love." Additionally, Joel recently sold his Florida mansion in Manalapan for 42.6 million dollars, down from an asking price that had dropped 20 million dollars from the previous year, likely reflecting his focus on health priorities over real estate ventures.
