Good ol' Billy Joel (76) ain't ready to call it quits, y'all. That's according to none other than Howard Stern (71), the infamous radio host and the Piano Man's tight-knit pal. On his syndicated show, Stern dished out an update on Joel's health, assuring fans that the legendary artist dismissed any notions of dancin' with the Grim Reaper.
Stern shared a story about his dinner with Billy, revealing the rockstar gave him the green light to spread the word:
Sobering stuff about age-related hydrocephalus, a condition that's been putting a damper on Joel's performances, earlier caused him to cancel all his gigs. The noggin trouble, also known as Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, can mess with a fella's hearing, vision, and balance, as you might've guessed[1][2].

You know the score: Doc told the guy to take a break and undergo some specialized physical therapy to get back on track.
