Despite their past, Christie Brinkley, ex-wife of musician Billy Joel and mother to their daughter Alexis, publicly expressed her support for him following his recent diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). On Instagram, Brinkley shared videos of Joel and Alexis from a recent concert, reminiscing about the joy he brings through his music. She highlighted the fun memories by stating she initially searched for cute photos to share but ended up finding a clip that made her laugh while also reflecting the happiness he spreads.
Billy Joel, 76, announced the cancellation of his upcoming concerts due to his diagnosis, which can affect mobility and cognitive function but is sometimes treatable. His announcement emphasized that he is committed to his health and undergoing physical therapy under medical advice. NPH typically affects older adults, with symptoms linked to a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid pressing on the brain.
Brinkley, who was married to Joel for nine years until their divorce in 1994, expressed her admiration for him in her message, referring to his ability to connect with audiences and create a welcoming atmosphere. She conveyed her heartfelt wishes for his recovery, stating, “We all want you back in that white hot spotlight, you’re OUR piano man.” This thoughtful gesture underscores the enduring bond and respect between them, despite their separation decades ago.
