Billy Joel announced on Tuesday that he will need to cancel the next four months of his tour to recover from recent surgery. The legendary “Piano Man” singer had to postpone his Billy Joel in Concert tour due to an unspecified “medical condition,” which led to the surgery. The 75-year-old was scheduled to perform in Toronto on Saturday, followed by several major U.S. cities in April and May, and later the U.K. this summer. However, he revealed his change of plans in a statement posted on Instagram. “Billy Joel’s upcoming concert dates will be rescheduled due to a medical condition,” the post read. “The current tour will be postponed for four months to allow him to recover from recent surgery and undergo physical therapy under the supervision of his doctors. Joel is expected to make a full recovery. The tour will resume at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on July 5, 2025.” Joel added: “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.” The statement also noted that all purchased tickets remain valid for the rescheduled shows.
