Billy Joel Postpones Tour Dates Due to Medical Recovery
Legendary musician Billy Joel has postponed several upcoming concert dates to focus on recovery following a recent surgery.
On Tuesday, Joel shared the news on Instagram, announcing that his tour will be rescheduled for four months as he undergoes physical therapy under medical supervision.
“While I regret postponing any shows, my health must come first. I look forward to getting back on stage and sharing the joy of live music with our amazing fans. Thank you for your understanding.”
Full Recovery Expected
Although details about Joel’s medical condition were not disclosed, the statement reassured fans that he is expected to make a full recovery.
The rescheduled concerts will take place between November 2025 and July 2026. Existing ticket holders will have their purchases honored for the new dates.
Tour Schedule Adjustments
The tour is set to resume on July 5 at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. One of the postponed shows, originally scheduled for March 15, 2025, in Toronto at the Rogers Centre, has been moved to March 14, 2026.
Music icons Sting and Stevie Nicks are set to join Joel for several of the rescheduled performances.
Previous On-Stage Fall
The announcement comes weeks after Joel took a tumble on stage while performing “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me” at Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun Arena. A video captured by a concertgoer showed him falling backward, but he quickly got back up and continued his performance.
