Billie Joel's wife, Alexis Roderick Joel, has offered a fresh update regarding the health of her husband, following his Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus diagnosis.
Last week, the Tell Her About It singer cancelled all upcoming shows after being diagnosed with the illness, which causes a build up of fluid in the brain, commonly affecting people over the age of 60, according to reports.
"This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance", it read. "Under his doctor's instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period".
The post added: "Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritising his health. He is grateful for the support from fans during this time and looks forward to the day when he can once again take the stage", the statement added.
"I'm sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding".
Now, Billy Joel's wife Alexis has taken to Instagram to share a positive update regarding her husband's health. The couple who have been married since 2015, share two daughters Della Rose and Remy Anne.
"Thank you for the outpouring of love and support", Alexis wrote via Billy Joel's official account.
She continued: "We are so grateful for the wonderful care and swift diagnosis we received. Bill is beloved by so many, and to us, he is a father and husband who is at the center of our world. We are hopeful for his recovery. We look forward to seeing you all in the future".
Elsewhere, Billy Joel's daughter Alexa, whose mother is model Christine Brinkley, called her father the "strongest and most resilient man", while quoting lyrics to his song 'Lullabye' (Goodnight My Angel)', adding "The music continues".
"We love you and we got you, Pop! I just wanted to thank you all for the beautiful outpouring of love and support amid the recent news of my father's health diagnosis.
"My dad is the strongest and most resilient man I’ve ever known … and he’s entirely committed to making a full recovery with ongoing physical-therapy treatments as he continues to regain his strength", she added. "The genuine care, empathy, and concern from everyone means so much to him … it means a lot to me, too".
