It’s no secret that Billy Joel is a living legend. At 75 years old, the “Piano Man” singer has 13 studio albums under his belt, over 150 million records sold worldwide, six Grammy wins, he was inducted to both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the list goes on.
With a track record like that, no one would blame Joel for retiring. However, the New York City native is still going strong—for the most part.
In March, it was announced that Joel would be postponing eight shows of his tour 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," a statement read at the time.

Though he will begin performing again on July 5, his wife, Alexis Joel, gave fans an important update on his health.
"He's doing well. It's funny, I was just having this conversation the other day. He's going to be 76. And I don't think of him that way. People don't think of him in that way, but he is. And he's been doing this job nonstop for 15 years — just this recent run,” Alexis, 39, shared in an interview with Fox News Digital.
Joel and Alexis got married on July 4, 2015, and share daughters Della Rose and Remy Anne. He also has an older daughter named Alexa Ray, whom he shares with ex Christie Brinkley.
"With the exception of COVID, he's been working every two weeks for 15-plus years—and it's a lot. At 75, 76, there comes a time where you can't always plan out everything you need to do a year and a half in advance, you know? And that's how long these schedules are. That's when you're booking things. You're booking it that long prior,” Alexis, who suffers from endometriosis, added.
Ultimately, the mother of two made it clear that sometimes “things have to get postponed,” but it’s hardly marking the end of her husband’s career.
“In the grand scheme of things, he's a healthy person, and he's well and working on himself, trying to get better and do what he has to do medically. So it's important, you know, we need him around so he has to do what he has to do,” Alexis said. “I had to do what I had to do. Now he has to do what he has to do."
