Billy Joel, a renowned musician, has had to press pause on his upcoming eight stadium performances. These shows, originally planned between now and July, have been pushed back due to a medical condition that required surgery. Joel's health is the top priority, and he is expected to bounce back fully after undergoing doctor-supervised physical therapy.

The last time Joel was on stage was on February 22 at Mohegan Sun Arena. During this performance, he took a tumble on stage, but quickly got back up and finished the show. Fans were concerned, but it is unclear if this fall is related to his recent surgery. The next show, scheduled for Toronto, has been moved to March 14, 2026. The Detroit show, initially planned for March 29, is the only one rescheduled for this year, on November 15, 2025. Other shows have been pushed back by about a year.

The tour will resume on July 5 at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh.  This is the next date on his tour.  Fans can expect to see Joel perform at Yankee Stadium, MetLife Stadium, and Citi Field, among other venues, later this year. The full list of new dates includes co-billed shows with Stevie Nicks or Sting.  Fans can still use their original tickets for the rescheduled shows.

Joel's fans are known for their loyalty and understanding.  They are likely to be supportive of his decision to prioritize his health.  The tour's resumption in July will give fans something to look forward to, especially those who were planning to attend the postponed shows.  The rescheduling of the shows is a reminder that even the most dedicated performers need to take care of their health.  It is important to remember that health should always come first, even in the world of entertainment.
