Billy Joel to close Long Island motorcycle shop, auction off collection due to brain disorder diagnosis
Billy Joel is closing his motorcycle shop in Long Island, New York, and auctioning off his personal collection of bikes as he battles a brain disorder. The 76-year-old singer revealed in May that he had been diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), which affects his vision, hearing and balance, he said on social media at the time. Joel also canceled all of his tour dates for 2025 and through July 2026. Earlier this week, Joel's representative Claire Mercuri told The Associated Press that the music icon will be shuttering 20th Century Cycles in Oyster Bay in late September and selling his collection at auction later this year due to his medical issue. NPH is a condition that occurs when cerebrospinal fluid builds up inside the skull and presses on the brain. It is most likely to impact people older than 65. Treating the condition involves surgery to implant a shunt to drain excess fluid from the inside of the skull, according to the Cleveland Clinic. In his May statement announcing his diagnosis, Joel noted that the condition had been "exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision and balance." The statement added, "Under his doctor's instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period." Joel, who grew up in nearby Hicksville, opened 20th Century Cycles in late 2010 as a place to maintain and repair his motorcycles, restore and customize ones he bought and showcase his collection for the public at no charge. "It's basically promoting an aesthetic here," he said in a 2013 YouTube video filmed at the shop. "I like older style. I like the automotive style from the '30s to the '60s. I wanted to collect a whole bunch of those kinds of bikes, put 'em in one place and let people see what that era of bike looked like. Because it's starting to be a lost aesthetic." The "Piano Man" hitmaker said he also wanted to bring foot traffic and business to downtown Oyster Bay — a ritzy waterfront community about 25 miles east of midtown Manhattan — where part of the street that includes 20th Century Cycles was renamed Billy Joel Way in 2023. "I've been living in this community for a long time," Joel said in the video. "I actually grew up not far from here. And I'd like to get a little interest going into the town and the village." Joel's nearby home in Centre Island is listed for $29.9 million, and he has been living in South Florida, while keeping a home in Sag Harbor on Long Island. The shop became a popular stop for motorcycle enthusiasts and tourists. It was home to Joel's collection of more than 75 bikes, which date all the way back to the 1940s and include Harley-Davidsons, Triumphs, Ducatis, Moto Guzzis, Indians and BMWs. Joel noted that one of his most valuable bikes was a 1952 Vincent Rapide, which can sell for tens of thousands of dollars and sometimes more, according to auction sites. Joel's enthusiasm for motorcycles dates back decades. In 1982, he was riding a motorcycle on Long Island when he was struck by a car that ran a red light, injuring his left thumb and dislocating his right wrist. He spent about a month in the hospital. The singer has also ridden motorcycles during various benefits for 9/11 first responders, breast cancer and other causes over the years. A date for the auction of his collection has not been set.

We Counted All of the Deaths in 'Wednesday' So You Don't Have To
Spoilers below. As supernatural mysteries unfold on Netflix's Wednesday, some characters have been dealt a deadly hand. The body count has steadily racked up throughout the series, either shocking viewers or validating suspicions about someone's demise. From monster attacks to fatal schemes, each death has made Nevermore Academy and the town of Jericho breeding grounds for depravity. In season 1, the main culprits were the ghost of Jericho's founder, Joseph Crackstone; his descendant Marilyn Thornhill (born Laurel Gates); and Tyler Galpin, a homicidal Hyde who tried to destroy Nevermore at Thornhill's behest. Season 2 introduces a new mysterious villain: an avian outcast who commands murderous crows to silence anyone uncovering their secret program, L.O.I.S., at Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital. Short for 'Long-term Outcast Integration Study,' the project experiments on outcast patients to steal their abilities and give them to powerless 'normies.' With these adversaries, there's no shortage of danger in Wednesday Addams's world. As we await the second installment's final episodes—and the third season—here's a recap of every major character who has met their end on the show. Galpin, Jericho's former police chief, lands on the avian's hit list as he and his friend Carl Bradbury investigate the L.O.I.S. program. Concerned about Tyler, his shapeshifting Hyde son who was admitted to Willow Hill, Galpin asks Wednesday to help with the case. But Galpin and Bradbury's probing goes a bridge too far, prompting the avian's murder of crows to kill them and gouge out their eyes. The avian outcast isn't the only threat in season 2: After Pugsley Addams accidentally turns a deceased Nevermore scholar into a brain-eating zombie named Slurp, he tries to keep the monster hidden. He furtively brings Slurp on a camping trip where Nevermore students compete against a group of young Phoenix cadets to stake their claim on the campsite. Kruger, the Phoenix cadet master, is chagrined when his troupe is defeated and tries to get revenge by ambushing the Nevermore campers at night. Instead, he falls into Slurp's clutches in Pugsley's tent and becomes zombie food. Thornhill falls victim to a monster of her own making. In season 1, she was revealed as the puppet master who unleashed and controlled Tyler's murderous Hyde persona. Both were arrested, and Thornhill was sent to a correctional facility while Tyler was admitted to Willow Hill. In season 2, Willow Hill's chief psychiatrist, Dr. Rachael Fairburn, reluctantly transfers Thornhill to the psychiatric center to help with Tyler's rehabilitation. However, Tyler resents Thornhill for exploiting him and causing his capture. When Wednesday and Uncle Fester break into Willow Hill and inadvertently free Tyler from confinement, he transforms into a Hyde and vengefully skewers Thornhill with his claws. Dr. Fairburn suffered a gruesome fate near the end of season 2, episode 4. Slurp, who was sent to Willow Hill after killing Kruger, gobbled up the psychiatrist's brain as all the outcasts at the hospital escaped their cells and ran amok. Stonehurst, a former normie professor at Nevermore and the founder of L.O.I.S., became a Willow Hill patient following a psychotic break. He meets his doom when Slurp attacks him after devouring Dr. Fairburn. Before feeding on Stonehurst, Slurp speaks for the first time, grunting, 'Hello, old friend.' This suggests that the two have an undisclosed history, which could be revealed in part 2. Rowan was an outcast at Nevermore who had telekinetic abilities. Believing that Wednesday would destroy the academy—inaccurately depicted by his mother's 25-year-old prophetic drawing—he tries to murder his pigtailed schoolmate in the woods. But he's intercepted by a Hyde, later revealed as Tyler Galpin, who disembowels him. When Mayor Walker finds new information about Marilyn Thornhill and her family's nefarious history, he asks Donovan Galpin, the sheriff at the time, to meet up. But he's struck by a car before he can tell Galpin what he uncovered. Mayor Walker survives the hit-and-run, but he's killed at the hospital when an unidentified assailant, presumably Thornhill, unplugs his life support. Dr. Kinbott was a local psychotherapist in Jericho whose student patients included Wednesday, Tyler, and Xavier Thorpe. Wednesday starts to suspect Dr. Kinbott of orchestrating the Hyde attacks, but is proven wrong when the monster violently slaughters the therapist. Tyler, acting as the Hyde under Thornhill's orders, murdered Dr. Kinbott to prevent her from uncovering his secret identity and derailing Thornhill's scheme. Whether Principal Weems should be included on this list is debatable, but we'll get to that shortly. At the end of season 1, Nevermore's headmaster uses her shapeshifting powers to impersonate Tyler and get Marilyn to confess her crimes. After Principal Weems reveals herself, Marilyn quickly injects her with nightshade poison, causing her to collapse and foam at the mouth before appearing to take her last breath. But the shocking scene wasn't enough to convince fans that Principal Weems really died. As it turns out, she's not gone for good and will return as Wednesday's spirit guide in season 2, part 2. That means we'll get to see two powerhouses, Gwendoline Christie and Lady Gaga, grace our screens when Wednesday returns on September 3.
