'Under his doctor's instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period,' read the press release shared on Instagram. 'Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health.'
The release continued, 'He is grateful for the support from fans during this time and looks forward to the day when he can once again take the stage.'
The post also included a statement from Billy Joel, who said, 'I'm sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding.'
Billy Joel fans would automatically receive a refund to their original payment form.
The tour cancellation comes after the musician fell during a concert in Connecticut in February. In March of this year, Billy Joel postponed his tour dates for an undisclosed 'medical condition.' The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer posted on Instagram that he would 'undergo physical therapy under the supervision of his doctors.'
In February 2024, the multiplatinum singer and pianist released his first new single since 2007, titled 'Turn the Lights Back On,' and a month later he played his 100th concert at New York's Madison Square Garden — a venue he has sold out more than any other act. CBS in April aired a commemorative special, 100th: Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden -The Greatest Arena Run of All Time. The network re-aired the special a week later after its signal cut out in many part of the U.S. during his signature hit 'Piano Man.'
