Billy Joel Cancels All Concerts After Brain Disorder Diagnosis
Billy Joel is cancelling every concert on his itinerary, 17 shows in total booked at stadiums across North America and England, due to a recent diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH). 'This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance,' reads a statement from Joel's team. 'Under his doctor's instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period. Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health.' More from Rolling Stone Metallica, Billy Joel Docs, Miley Cyrus Visual Album Lead 2025 Tribeca's Music-Heavy Lineup 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes' Documentary to Premiere at 2025 Tribeca Festival New Billy Joel Doc on HBO Will Dive Into Subjects Not 'Explored Before' 'I'm sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience,' Joel says in a statement, 'and thank you for understanding.' Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus is a brain disorder where excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain's ventricles. '[It] can affect several brain-related abilities, including thinking and concentrating, memory, movement and more,' reads an explainer on the Cleveland Clinic's website. 'The symptoms of NPH look very much like those of dementia, but NPH is sometimes reversible.' Joel's last concert took place on February 22 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. Near the end of the show, he fell flat on his back after throwing his microphone stand to a crew member. But he quickly stood up and finished the set. One month later, Joel announced that he was taking a four-month break from the road due to a 'medical condition' that required surgery and physical therapy. He planned on returning to the stage on July 5 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 'While I regret postponing any shows, my health must come first,' he told fans in a 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.' It's unclear if his medical issues at the time were related to Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. The disorder affects roughly 0.2 percent of people in their seventies and causes gait issues, bladder control issues, and cognitive difficulties. It's most commonly addressed with a surgery where a device known as a shunt is implanted to remove the excess fluids. 'NPH is unusual among dementia-like conditions because it's often reversible,' according to the Cleveland Clinic. 'However, the chances of reversing this condition are highest with early diagnosis and fast treatment. Delays in diagnosis and treatment make it more likely that the damage to your brain from the pressure will be permanent, severe or both.' Joel, 76, wrapped up his decade-long residency at Madison Square Garden in July 2024. In the months that followed, he continued to tour all across America and England, playing roughly twice a month. He hasn't released an album of new pop songs since 1993's River of Dreams, though in February 2024, he teamed up with songwriter/producer Freddy Wexler on the single ' Turn the Lights Back On.' He premiered the track at the Grammys that month and performed it live a handful of times, but it left his set in June and never reappeared. Despite the lack of new material, Joel remains one of the most popular touring acts in the world. His planned summer tour included shows at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field in New York, and MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Tickets for all the shows will be refunded in full.

Metallica Announce Deluxe ‘Load' Reissue With More Than 30 Hours of Music
Metallica will revisit their 1996 album Load with a remastered reissue that includes a 'Super Deluxe' edition that clocks in at 30 hours, much of it unreleased music. Out June 13 via their Blackened Records, the Load reissue will be released as a remastered 2LP, CD, and cassette, as well as an expanded 3CD version. Both the 2LP and 3CD versions feature the album closer 'The Outlaw Torn' unedited for the first time, as time constraints forced the track to be cut short on the original 78-minute-and-59-second-long album. More from Rolling Stone Metallica, Billy Joel Docs, Miley Cyrus Visual Album Lead 2025 Tribeca's Music-Heavy Lineup 'Metallica Saved My Life' Documentary Teaser Celebrates Four Decades of Fandom Family Metallica Want Your Blood Ahead of the reissue's arrival, Metallica shared the lyric video for the remastered version of 'Until It Sleeps,' which remains a fixture in the band's setlists: However, the real draw is the loaded 'Limited-Edition Deluxe Box Set,' which includes, as Metallica said, 'the whole kitchen sink.' The 15CD/6LP/4 DVD set boasts the remastered Load on CD and vinyl plus tons of unreleased extras from the Metallica vaults, including one of the band's headlining gigs from the 1996 Lollapalooza, five CDs of 'Riffs, Demos, Session Takes, Rough & Alternate Mixes,' a collection of B-sides and rarities, more live shows, soundboard tapes and more. In total, the set houses 245 unreleased songs. The DVDs feature making-of footage from the studio, plus two European concerts and all the music videos from the era. 'All said and done, the Deluxe Box Set delivers a fully loaded (and then some) total runtime of 1839:31!' Metallica calculated. 'To complete the experience, immerse yourself in memorabilia including a pack of 14 Rorschach Test cards, a Pushead patch, an 11×17 Lollapalooza poster, a Rolling Stone cover reproduction, a 5-pack of guitar/bass picks, lyric sheets, two laminated tour passes, and a deluxe 128-page book filled with unreleased photos and stories from those who were there,' the band added. The Load reissue is available to preorder now.
