Pop music legend Billy Joel has canceled his upcoming concerts after being diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). According to an official statement issued by the 76-year-old singer, the condition has been "exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision and balance." Refunds are being automatically processed and sent back to the original purchaser. According to the Cleveland Clinic, NPH is caused when cerebrospinal fluid builds up inside a person’s skull and presses on the brain. Common symptoms include memory loss, trouble walking and incontinence. Joel is presently receiving treatment and hopes to one day return to the stage.
