In order to recover from a recent surgery, Billy Joel has decided to postpone his tour by some four months.
Now 75-years-old, the iconic musician has been struck by an undisclosed medical condition that required an operation.
Allowing for time to recuperate, the superstar singer/songwriter will delay his previously scheduled 2025 trek, and taking to social media, his Instagram post stated:
“Billy Joel’s upcoming concert dates will be rescheduled due to a medical condition.” “The current tour will be postponed for four months to allow him to recover from recent surgery and to 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.”
About his condition, the Piano Man 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.”
Originally slated to perform at Ford Field in Detroit with Stevie Nicks on March 29, the show has now been postponed until November 15 and other rescheduled dates include Toronto, Canada, which will now take place in March 2026 as well as shows in Syracuse and Salt Lake City, that have now been slated for April 2026 and May 2026 respectively. A stop in Charlotte will go ahead in July of 2026 and another date in Milwaukee has yet to be rescheduled.
Joel’s planned performances in Edinburgh and Liverpool, England will now take place in June 2026, while
The recent postponements follow the multi-Grammy award winner previously called off a show in Florida in January to undergo a “medical procedure” with a statement released at the time adding “Billy Joel at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Hollywood originally scheduled for Friday, Jan. 17, has been rescheduled for Saturday, Nov. 1 at 8 p.m. because of a medical procedure.”
Billy Joel added “I’m disappointed to share that I must postpone my concert at Hard Rock Live. I appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing everyone in November.”
