Billy Joel’s upcoming tour will be postponed for four months while legendary singer/songwriter recovers from surgery due to an unspecified medical condition. The postponement news comes just weeks after Joel, 75, fell onstage during a concert in Montville, Connecticut, on Feb. 22, but was able to get back on his feet and continue performing.
A press release posted to social media states that “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. “
Joel said in a statement: “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.”
Most of the affected concerts have been rescheduled (with the exception of Milwaukee), including shows in both the U.S. and U.K. All previously purchased tickets will automatically be valid for the rescheduled shows.
