On March 12th, here's the latest in entertainment and celebrity news. Billy Joel had a stumble on stage at a Connecticut arena last March, but the 76-year-old singer quickly got back up and finished his show. A couple months later, he shared that doctors diagnosed him with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a treatable brain condition that affects balance and walking. His daughter Alexa Rae Joel, who was 40, opened up about it recently. Billy tried to play down the fall and asked her not to watch the video, knowing she worries a lot. She checked it out anyway and ended up in tears, seeing him trip after spending the microphone. The whole family, including Billy's younger daughter's De La Rose, who was 10 and Remi Ann, who was 8, with his wife Alexis has been supportive through his physical therapy. Alexis says he's doing great now and they're staying on top of his treatment. Billy had to cancel some concerts after the news, but he made a fun surprise appearance in Florida this past January, joining a cover band for A.

A couple of his hits while seated at the piano. He's got a special event coming up on March 12th at Carnegie Hall in New York City for a tribute concert benefiting music programs for kids. Alexa will perform there too, and Billy plans to show up and enjoy the night. De Ann is brought to you by our sponsor link in the description. When you want calm, do not reach for your phone.
