Billy Joel, the 77-year-old singer, has spent the past year dealing with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), a condition that affected his balance, hearing and ability to perform. He cancelled his concerts, went through physical therapy and eventually underwent surgery to have a shunt implanted in his brain.
"Piano Man" singer revealed that his "balance isn't that good" and that he had also "lost a little bit of my hearing," but insisted it was more to do with age and decades of touring than the NPH.
