Los Angeles .- The American singer Billy Joel announced the definitive cancellation of his tour of the United States and the United Kingdom after receiving a diagnosis of hydrocephalus.
"Billy Joel has announced that he will cancel all scheduled concerts following a recent diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). This condition has been aggravated by recent concert performances, leading to hearing, vision, and balance problems," his team reported via social media.
The musician is receiving "specific physiotherapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period," the writing added.
"I sincerely regret disappointing our audience and thank you for your understanding," Joel said in the statement.
