What is Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus?
NORMAL pressure hydrocephalus occurs when spinal fluid builds up in the skull and starts pressing on the brain.
The condition can affect brain function, which can lead to a loss of memory, concentration, and motor skills.
Medical experts say that NPH often presents like degenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and is usually noticed by loved ones.
And around 30 percent of those suffering from the condition do also have one of those diseases, according to Cleveland Clinic.
However, those who only have NPH can get relief if they have a major surgery.
The surgery involves getting a shunt, which is a device that can drain fluid from the skull affecting the brain.
“It made me laugh ..but it also reminded me of all the joy you create, and all the sensational sing a longs you’ve lead…
“You turn an arena of strangers into a living room full of friends as we all sway in unison ..
“I’m sure I’m speaking for everyone in that room when I say please take good care of yourself, we all want you back in that white hot spotlight,you’re OUR piano man.”
Christie continued: “And we’re always in the mood for your melodies And we all hope you’re feeling alright!
“We Love You, the kids, me and an arena or two!”
BILLY’S BRAIN DISORDER
When Billy’s team revealed his health battle and diagnosis during the week, it was explained how he was canceling his tour because of his brain disorder.
“This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance,” the statement read.
The statement also revealed how he had to go through physical therapy, and his doctors urged him to “stop performing while he recovers.”
“Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health,” the announcement said.

The Piano Man singer gave a heartfelt apology to fans for having to step away from performing.
