(NewsNation) — Billy Joel has canceled all of his upcoming tour dates after being diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus.

Joel announced his decision Friday, saying in a press release that he was thankful for the care he was getting and the support of his fans

The health condition has reportedly been made worse by recent performances, leaving the musician with problems with hearing, vision and balance.

NPH is caused by a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid pressing on the brain and is most common in people over 65. Treatment for the condition typically includes installing a shunt to drain the excess fluid and physical therapy to deal with the symptoms.

Joel, 76, is undergoing physical therapy and said he has been advised to stop performing while he recovers.

The decision to cancel the shows comes months after Joel fell onstage during a concert in Connecticut. He recovered and continued the show as planned.

Joel later announced he was postponing concerts through June to undergo physical therapy.

Fans will automatically receive a refund for their tickets to the canceled shows. The canceled concerts include shows in New York City, New Orleans, Toronto, Santa Clara, Salt Lake City, Washington, D.C. and Liverpool.
