Billy Joel To Appear Onstage
Billy Joel is returning to the stage… for one night only!
He announced on Instagram that “Florida Atlantic University will welcome singer, songwriter and composer Billy Joel for Billy Joel: An Evening of Questions & Answers…And a Little Music.”
The show will happen December 14th and tickets are only available to currently enrolled students at FAU.
The evening will be mostly a Q&A with the entertainer, and the phrase “a little music” is probably telling. Joel is still recovering from normal pressure hydrocephalus, which has caused problems with hearing, vision, and balance.
He did make a surprise appearance earlier this year, showing up at a performance by a Billy Joel cover band to sing two songs.
Joel told the Hollywood Reporter last month that doctors are concerned about the sound, lighting, and stress of performing. “What the neurologist told me, every time you do a show, it’s like you’re getting a concussion,” Joel said.
Joel also revealed he is no longer allowed to drive. Still, the Piano Man has remained upbeat, speaking on SiriusXM in September 2025: “I’m okay. I just want people to know, don’t worry about me. I’m not going anywhere. I’m here. I’m still here.”
