PiercingMetal Thoughts: Wow. When I first shared the news about the Concert Postponements I had hoped that a few months rest and doctors care would find the legendary musician back for the attack but that is clearly not the case and something much more serious is going on with him. I’ve never heard of this affliction but am hoping that Mr. Joel can come back from it under the care and advisement from his doctors. One has to wonder if this will lead to an earlier decision to no longer tour at all going forward and while that would really cause his fans some sadness, one’s health is the most important thing in life. Not to be preachy but we should always be paying attention to such things and if you’re overdue for a checkup yourself how about you make that appointment to be on the safe side. As I pointed out in the postponement post, my best wishes of good health and recovery are sent to Billy Joel. Sure this is a Metal and Hard Rock website, but I’ve loved so many of his songs that I decided to post the update here as opposed to over on “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken”. Stay healthy my friends.
