Billy Joel Postpones Tour Four Months to Recover From Surgery

Billy Joel’s upcoming tour will be postponed for four months while the singer-songwriter handles an unspecified medical condition.

According to a press release, Joel will be recovering from surgery and undergoing physical therapy. Nearly all of the affected concerts have been rescheduled — with the exception of Milwaukee — including shows in both the U.S. and U.K.

“While I regret postponing any shows, my health must come first,” Joel said in a statement. “I look forward to getting back on stage and sharing the joy of live music with our amazing fans. Thank you for your understanding.”

All previously purchased tickets will automatically be valid for the rescheduled shows. You can view a complete list of the new dates below.

The postponement news comes just a couple weeks after Joel fell onstage during a concert in Montville, Connecticut, on Feb. 22. He did get back on his feet and continue performing, though some fans were left concerned.
