Additionally, the "Piano Man" singer, 76, will reportedly sell his motorcycle collection at an auction later this year. Joel's rep cited his medical issue as the reason for the move.

In May, Joel revealed he was diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), prompting him to cancel his tour dates in 2025 and 2026.

"The condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance," a statement shared via Instagram read. "Under his doctor's instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period."
