Music legend Billy Joel has given a promising update amid his brain disorder diagnosis. He recently took to social media to announce that he will be performing his first show since his normal pressure hydrocephalus diagnosis.
Per a post on social media, the music legend announced the venue and date of his triumphant return to the stage. "Florida Atlantic University will welcome singer, songwriter and composer Billy Joel for Billy Joel: An Evening of Questions & Answers...And a Little Music", he wrote.
He also confirmed that the date will be Monday, December 14th, at 7pm.
However, for prospective Billy Joel fans looking to attend, we have some bad news... well, unless you're an FAU student, that is. "Tickets will be available exclusively to currently enrolled FAU students beginning Thursday, November 12, 2026."
That fact had some people in the comments of the post upset - they joked about it. One wrote, "quickly applying to be a FAU student since this is right down the road from me". Others were quick to wish him well, with one commenter saying, "Wishing you a speedy recovery."

This Comes After the Music Legend Previously Canceled All Shows After the Diagnosis
This appears to be a pretty positive step in the recovery of the music legend. The announcement of one of his iconic Q&A sessions comes after he was forced to cancel all of his shows due to a brain disorder diagnosis last year.
We reported on it when it happened. He made a post on social media announcing that his "recent performances had worsened". "This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance."
"Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy," the post added.
He later went on to have brain surgery for his normal pressure hydrocephaly condition. As we reported, he reassured fans back in October of this year that things were getting better.
He explained, "I know people are worried about me because they read that I have a brain disorder, which sounds a lot worse than it actually is."
"I'm OK," he announced. "My balance isn't that good. Lost a little bit of my hearing, but that may have to do with my age... And the rock-and-roll life and the loud volume probably didn't help."
We hope that his recovery is going well - and this is a sure sign of it!
