Billy Joel’s Brain Surgery Update | Birmingham News

Billy Joel reveals he underwent brain surgery for normal pressure hydrocephalus, a condition causing memory loss and balance issues, after delaying treatment to preserve his mental sharpness. Doctors implanted a shunt to drain excess fluid pressing on his brain, and now he’s in physical therapy, scaling back performances to avoid nerve damage from loud rock shows. Despite canceling tour dates last year after a stage fall, Joel remains determined to stay healthy and keep performing — no matter what it takes.
