Billy Joel's Health Battle: Piano Man's Resilience, Tributes, and HBO Documentary
Billy Joel BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Billy Joel has largely maintained a low profile over the past few days, with most recent activity centered around tribute performances and documentary promotions rather than appearances by the Piano Man himself.
The most significant recent development involves Joel's ongoing health situation. In May, he was diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a brain disorder causing fluid buildup that affects hearing, vision, and balance. He cancelled all upcoming concert dates on doctor's orders to undergo physical therapy. According to Howard Stern's radio show from early June, Joel shared that he's "doing fine" and wants people to know "you can tell people I'm not dying," though he acknowledged he has medical issues to manage. His wife Alexis Roderick Joel expressed optimism about his recovery, stating they're "hopeful" and grateful for the medical care he's received.
Christie Brinkley, Joel's ex-wife, posted a heartfelt Instagram message expressing support for his recovery. She shared a video from one of his performances and wrote that the entire Brinkley family is "sending immense love and warm wishes for a complete and swift recovery." Their daughter Alexa Ray Joel also publicly praised her father as "the strongest and most resilient man I've ever known," fully committed to physical therapy treatments.
On the entertainment front, several Billy Joel tribute shows have taken place recently. A Piano Man tribute featuring Mark Kovaly performed at Roswell City Hall in September as part of their Music on the Hill series. More recently, tribute performances occurred in Pensacola and Atlanta, with shows scheduled including a Piano Man versus Rocket Man tribute combining Billy Joel and Elton John material at MadLife Stage and Studios in Woodstock, Georgia on Thanksgiving Eve, November twenty-sixth.
Additionally, an HBO documentary titled "Billy Joel: And So It Goes" directed by Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin has been announced, featuring unprecedented access to never-before-seen performances, home movies, and personal photographs. The two-part film explores his life, music, love, loss, and personal struggles. Tom Hanks serves as executive producer.
Joel's net worth remains substantial at approximately two hundred fifty million dollars as of two thousand twenty-five, accumulated through decades of album sales, touring revenue, royalties, and real estate investments. His most recent confirmed public activity appears to have been limited while he focuses on recovery from his diagnosed health condition.
