In the meantime, his team assured fans that all ticket purchases for the now-canceled tour dates would be refunded automatically. Joel had been slated to perform across the U.S., including high-profile stadium shows at the New Orleans Superdome and Yankee Stadium.

The tour included collaborations with fellow iconic artists such as Rod Stewart, Sting, and Stevie Nicks.

Joel’s career spans decades, with numerous accolades and a long-standing record of sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden. Known for hits like “Piano Man,” “Uptown Girl,” and “My Life,” Joel has built a legacy on both emotional ballads and gritty, working-class anthems.

“Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health,” the statement added. “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.”
