Billy Joel returns to the stage for the first time since brain disorder diagnosis

Billy Joel returned to the stage Friday in Wellington, Florida, to perform two songs, “Big Shot” and “We Didn’t Start the Fire”, at the town’s 30th anniversary celebration. Using a cane, he played alongside his wife and two daughters, who danced onstage, marking his first live appearance since his May 2025 diagnosis with a brain disorder affecting his balance, vision, and hearing.
