Billy Joel has postponed several tour dates, including those planned for the UK, due to a “medical condition”.

The 75-year-old singer’s tour update was announced today (March 11) along with when Billy Joel’s next four months of dates would be rescheduled to.

He was set to perform in Edinburgh and Liverpool this June, but both shows have now been moved to June 2026 as the singer “recovers from recent surgery".

“The current tour will be postponed for four months to allow him to recover from recent surgery and to undergo physical therapy under the supervision of his doctors.

Billy himself said: “While I regret postponing any shows, my health must come first. I look forward to getting back on stage and sharing the joy of live music with our amazing fans. Thank you for your understanding.”
