Billy Joel has enjoyed a successful run in his music career; however, his health has always been a major challenge. The singer has battled with significant health struggles, including hearing damage, substance abuse, and mental health challenges. Most recently, he revealed a new battle with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a condition that has worsened his hearing, vision, and balance.
His new health diagnosis has forced him to cancel some of his concerts, leaving his fans and family worried about his well-being. To celebrate this year’s Father’s Day, his family took time out to celebrate their love for him and reassure him that he is not alone in his current health battle.
