Billy Joel has been forced to reschedule the remainder of his tour due to a “medical condition”.
The announcement from the beloved singer came just two weeks after a scary fall on stage and revealed the 75-year-old underwent surgery recently.
“While I regret postponing any shows, my health must come first,” Joel said in a short statement.
“I look forward to getting back on stage and sharing the joy of live music with our amazing fans. Thank you for your understanding.”
His management advised people with tickets to upcoming shows, their tickets would automatically be valid for the rescheduled shows.
“The current tour will be postponed for four months to allow him to recover from recent surgery and to undergo physical therapy under the supervision of his doctors,” the statement said
While not revealing any details about the surgery or “medical condition” management reassured fans “Joel is expected to make a full recovery”.
