Billy Joel is no longer coming to Paycor Stadium this summer.

The legendary musician was diagnosed with a brain disorder called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus.

“I’m sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience,” Joel said in a statement, “and thank you for understanding.”

Joel had 17 shows in North America and England scheduled for this summer, including a Sept. 20 date at Paycor Stadium.

“This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance,” Joel's team said in a statement. “Under his doctor’s instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period. Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health.”

Paycor Stadium has served as a venue for a plethora of top musicians in the past few years, including Taylor Swift and Luke Combs.
