Billy Joel Closing Beloved New York Motorcycle Shop After Brain Disorder Diagnosis
Billy Joel was diagnosed with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, a brain disorder affecting multiple functions, prompting him to cancel his tour and close his motorcycle shop after nearly 15 years.
- Billy Joel is closing his Long Island motorcycle shop, 20th Century Cycles in Oyster Bay, after nearly 15 years of operation.
- Joel decided to close the shop and auction his collection due to a diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, a brain fluid disorder.
