Musician Billy Joel announces return to stage despite health warnings

Musician Billy Joel has announced his return to the stage for a Q&A and music event at Florida Atlantic University on December 14, 2026. The move comes shortly after the singer revealed that doctors advised him against performing due to health risks.
Joel was diagnosed with a brain condition called normal pressure hydrocephalus last year and underwent surgery. Doctors warned him that the stress and noise of performing act like getting a concussion.
