Director Of Billy Joel Documentary Shares Update On Singer’s Health: “He’s Doing Physical Therapy, He’s Healing”

Susan Lacy, co-director of the upcoming Billy Joel documentary, Billy Joel: And So It Goes, has provided an update on the singer’s health during an appearance on Good Morning America on Wednesday (July 16). The 76-year-old Joel has recently been diagnosed with the brain disorder normal pressure hydrocephalus, and Lacy shared that he is “doing physical therapy, he’s healing, he’s working on getting better.” In May, Joel canceled his entire run of summer shows due to the condition affecting his vision, hearing, and balance, focusing instead on recovery and prioritizing his health. The documentary, which was co-directed by Jessica Levin, is set to premiere in two parts on HBO Max on July 18 and 25, with the film chronicling Joel’s life and career, while delving into the stories behind his iconic songs amidst his personal challenges.
