Billy Joel Fans Express Concern After Singer Postpones Upcoming Concert for 'Medical Procedure'

Billy Joel fans are worried for the legendary musician after he was forced to postpone an upcoming concert at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood for a "medical procedure."

The "Piano Man" himself posted the update on his Facebook Story on Tuesday, Jan. 14, though he'd previously shared the same unfortunate news with his Instagram followers over the weekend.

The concert, originally scheduled for Friday, Jan. 17, will now take place next Nov. 1 at 8 p.m.

"I'm disappointed to share that I must postpone my concert at Hard Rock Live," Joel noted. "I appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing everyone in November."

While fans were more than understanding of the unexpected cancellation, they were also quite concerned about Joel and his health.

"Hope your alright 😮," one wrote with a concerned-looking emoji, while another asked, "oh no are you okay billy?"

"Heartbreaking! 😢Was sooo looking forward to going!" someone else admitted, before wishing him well: "Hope you make a speedy recovery.❤️‍🩹."

"Speedy recovery, Billy! ❤️," another comment read.

"Feel better soon, Billy! Your health comes first," someone else assured, while another wished him "good luck" with the surgery and promised to "see [him] in November!!!💕🤗🙏😍🫶."

Joel didn't offer any details about the procedure, including what it was for or whether he's already undergone it. Previously, he opened up about undergoing hip replacement surgeries due to pain caused by years of on-stage antics, as well as pain he suffered following a previous back surgery.

All previously purchased tickets will be honored on the new date, but refunds will be available at the point of purchase until Tuesday, March 11, for anyone unable to attend.
