Billy Joel is pressing pause on his touring schedule after undergoing surgery.
On Tuesday, the “Piano Man” told fans he has to reschedule his next eight stadium concerts so he can recover from an unspecified “medical condition.”
“While I regret postponing any shows, my health must come first,” Joel said in a statement on social media. “I look forward to getting back on stage and sharing the joy of live music with our amazing fans. Thank you for your understanding.”
The singer “is expected to make a full recovery,” with plans to undergo doctor-supervised physical therapy, according to the statement.
The tour news means that Joel’s next concert isn’t scheduled until July 5, when he’s slated to perform at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
During the musician’s last live performance in Connecticut in late February, fan video captured him falling after dancing around stage during a lively encore. He was able to get back up and play one more song, however.
It’s unclear whether the tumble is related to his recent surgery.
