- Joel revealed in a recent interview that he is currently not allowed to drive and must undergo a series of tests before deciding when he can perform again, with his neurologist warning that performing feels like sustaining a concussion.
- Despite concerns, Joel has assured fans that his condition is manageable, attributing some symptoms to age and his rock and roll lifestyle, and emphasizing that he is "okay."
- The musician is preparing to auction off over 70 vintage motorcycles from his personal collection in November, citing his age and health issues as reasons for selling.
- Joel explained that his brain disorder makes riding motorcycles risky, and he wants to pass on his collection rather than face potential danger himself.
