Howard Stern is relaying a health update from Billy Joel.
On "The Howard Stern Show," Stern shared that he had dinner with Joel two weeks ago and that the singer, who recently announced that he has been diagnosed with a brain disorder, is "doing fine."
"He does have issues, but he said, 'Yeah, you can tell people I'm not dying,'" the radio host said on Tuesday, June 3. "He wants people to know that. He's just go to deal with some medical stuff."
Stern added that he had a "great conversation" with Joel at their dinner and recalled the "Piano Man" singer "lit up" when Stern described how he has been playing classical music on the guitar.
On May 23, Joel canceled all of his upcoming concerts after he was diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a brain disorder. A statement posted on Joel's Instagram said the condition has "been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance."
