Billy Joel has postponed eight stadium concerts on his agenda for this year, due to a recent surgery for an unspecified medical condition. The pop-rock legend has pushed back the dates for four months, while he recovers and undergoes physical therapy, according to a statement on his website and social media.

“While I regret postponing any shows, my health must come first,” Joel, 75, said in the statement on Tuesday. “I look forward to getting back on stage and sharing the joy of live music with our amazing fans. Thank you for your understanding.”

Doctors are supervising his recovery, the statement said.

The concert dates, originally scheduled from March through June, have been rescheduled for fall 2025 and spring-summer 2026. The list includes a May 10 show in Charlotte, North Carolina, now set for July 3, 2026, at the Charlotte Bank of America Stadium.

Stadium shows in Detroit, Milwaukee, Salt Lake City and Syracuse, New York, are on the list, along with three dates outside the United States. Some of the dates were sold out, according to Joel’s website.

The next concert on Joel’s agenda is set for July 5 at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. His originally scheduled tour dates continue after that, stopping at Yankee Stadium in New York (July 18), Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. (Aug.8), the Superdome in New Orleans (Oct. 18) and more.

Joel took a tumble on stage during a sold-out show on Feb. 22 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., but it’s unclear if that fall is related to the medical condition mentioned in his Tuesday statement.

A fan video on TikTok shows Joel twirling the microphone during one of his encores at Mohegan Sun Arena, “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me.” The star can be seen stumbling, falling on his side and flopping on his back in the video, as a crew member approaches to help him.

Joel continued the show in Connecticut, according to Setlist.fm, and ended his set with “Big Shot” and “You May Be Right.” The setlist also featured classic hits such as “Movin’ Out,” “Pressure,” “Vienna,” “Allentown,” “New York State of Mind,” “Piano Man,” “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” “Only the Good Die Young” and more.
