Watch: Billy Joel reveals details of rare brain condition in first interview after diagnosis
The 76-year-old musician has Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH), which is a build-up of fluid in the brain. The excess fluid puts pressure on the brain, which can result in damage.
It can affect mobility; Joel told Bill Maher on his Club Random podcast that his "balance sucks" following his diagnosis, which forced him to cancel all upcoming performances and tour dates.
"They keep referring to what I have as a brain disorder, so it sounds a lot worse than what I'm feeling," he added.

New York City preparing for outbreak of SECOND 'highly contagious' virus... as cases spread to neighboring states
New York is gearing up for an outbreak of another highly contagious virus, as the number of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) cases spike across the eastern US. As New York City is currently grappling with a Legionnaires' outbreak that has infected 67 people and killed three, doctors in the borough of Staten Island are also raising concern over an uptick in HFMD. A handful of cases have already been reported and there's been reports of increasing cases in multiple states, including Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Ohio, Kansas, and West Virginia. HFMD is a viral disease that can lead to painful lesions forming on the hands, mouth and feet as well as fever and a sore throat. It usually affects children under age 10 with the immune systems of adults typically strong enough to prevent the virus from infecting them. HFMD outbreaks most commonly occur at nurseries and schools, but immunocompromised adults are at risk, too. The CDC does not track cases of the virus so there is little data available on case numbers. However, Dr Edith Bracho-Sanchez, a pediatrician at Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York, revealed she has seen more cases of HFMD in the past few weeks than she has over the past decade. And Dr Natasha Burgert, a Kansas-based pediatrician and national spokeswoman for the American Academy of Pediatrics, said she has seen the same trend. 'What I'm seeing in my own practice mirrors the surge my colleagues are reporting nationwide,' she told The New York Times. HFMD is caused by the virus coxsackievirus 16. It can be passed through the air or by coming into close contact with a person who hasn't washed their hands after using the bathroom. HFMD infections tend to spike in the summer and early fall because children are more likely to mix in environments where the disease can spread, such as at summer camps, pools and theme parks, as well as the start of school. Some studies also suggest that warmer and more humid weather in the summer months may be more favorable for the survival and transmission of the viruses that cause HFMD. HFMD typically causes fever, vomiting and a rash covering the mouth, hands and feet that clears up within 10 days. But in very young patients, the illness can be much more serious and lead to seizures, triggered by inflammation of the fluid surrounding the brain. The disease is highly transmissible, spread via contact with fluids from an infected person, such as from blisters, and by swallowing infected water. Experts warn that water parks can spread the highly contagious disease if their water has not been treated properly, leaving children at risk of infection. In Philadelphia, a water park was closed for a day in July after a child who had visited the location contracted HFMD. About 10 to 15million cases of HFMD are recorded in the US every year, estimates suggest, mostly among children under five years old. Those who are infected are recommended to take over-the-counter pain medications to help relieve fever and pain caused by mouth sores. Patients are also told to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, saying this may happen because mouth sores make it painful to swallow. Children diagnosed with the disease should avoid contact with others for at least seven days in order to dodge them spreading the infection.

A moment that changed me: on the day of my first book deal, a mysterious hum overcame me
I developed tinnitus the same night I was offered my first book deal at the end of 2014. I'd received the news late-afternoon, then went out for cocktails with two friends to celebrate. I remember the evening well: we'd gone somewhere loud but not too loud; I ordered a fluorescent orange drink that I didn't enjoy. Before I went to bed, I spoke to my boyfriend on the phone. 'This could really change your life,' he said. Sometime in the early hours of the following morning, I woke up with a ringing in my ears that has not gone away since. Tinnitus often appears out of nowhere. Some describe it as like standing next to the engine of a plane, or caught within a colony of flying bats. The sound I woke with wasn't so bad: a sort of midpoint between the hiss of television static and the roar of the ocean. At first I thought it must have been coming from my phone, which was usually inches away from my face as I slept. I then searched my room for malfunctioning electronics, before realising with bracing horror that the noise was coming from inside my brain. The condition can be divided into three categories: subjective tinnitus (the perception of sound where there is none); objective tinnitus (where there is a sound within or close to the ear that another person can sometimes hear); and somatic tinnitus, which worsens with body movement. Mine was the former: a phantom sound. Little is known about what causes it, but one theory is that loud sounds damage the hairs in the cochlea, flattening them like stems of corn after a storm. The hairs normally pick up sounds and, without them, the brain seeks out sounds from other parts of the ear, sending back signals that translate to a perpetual illusory hum. I'd spent many years going to loud concerts and playing drums in a band, only occasionally protecting my hearing with earplugs. I started to blame myself. The first few days felt long and hard. It seemed absurd to be so troubled by what is basically an annoying sound, but its inescapability and totality was maddening. The world was suddenly bifurcated into quiet spaces, in which I had nothing to mask the tinnitus, and loud spaces, which threatened to damage my hearing further. I couldn't stop catastrophising: 'I will never hear silence again. I will always be too distracted to write. I will be driven mad by loud sounds.' I became anxious and, like 21% of tinnitus patients, I developed suicidal thoughts. My GP was unsympathetic, telling me it would not go away but I would get used to it – and no, I couldn't have any Valium. A few days before Christmas, I went to stay with my boyfriend's parents for the first time. Ironically, there were copies of the Max Ehrmann poem Desiderata all over the house – printed off in the guest room, hanging beside the bathroom sink. It was one of his mum's favourites; she identified strongly with the message: 'Go placidly amid the noise … remember what peace there may be in silence.' I read online studies about tinnitus compulsively. I discovered advice to seek out quiet spaces in which I could place my hands over my ears to get a measure of whether it was getting any better or worse. But this only exacerbated my nerves. On New Year's Day, I couldn't stop crying; I felt stuck in an abject state of misery and panic. I began hypnotherapy, hoping I could trick my brain into not hearing the never-ending noise. My hypnotherapist told me this was not how it worked. Instead, she tried to teach me how to separate my feelings of anxiety from the sounds in my ears, and how to relax; sending me away with audio files of women whispering about the sea. I began sleeping to the sound of brown noise – named after 'Brownian motion', the random movement of particles in a liquid – replacing one hum with another. I practised progressive muscle relaxation, my antidepressants kicked in and I began the long process of habituation – learning to tune out the unwanted, unstoppable sound. Just over a month after I first developed tinnitus, I was on holiday in Brasov, Transylvania – a 30th-birthday present from my sister and mum. Towards the end of the trip, the three of us were walking through the mountains, and when I looked back I realised I couldn't see either of them. I was surrounded only by recently settled snow. There was something about the white of the snow and the ringing in my ears that felt equivalent; blank and unintimidating, somehow. Tinnitus is often described as white noise, but white is achromatic – a colour that isn't really a colour. I knew then that I'd make peace with this sound that isn't really a sound, my new version of silence. That was a decade ago, and these days I've learned to accept and adjust. I'd railed so violently against my tinnitus, and achieved nothing. Now I acknowledge what I cannot change, and it doesn't bother me at all.
