Earlier this month, beloved "Piano Man" Billy Joel announced that he'd been diagnosed with a brain disorder, forcing him to cancel all of his upcoming concert dates.
To make matters worse, recent performances had exacerbated his condition, including his hearing, vision, and balance, leading his doctor to recommend rest outside of performing physical therapy.
Since the announcement, fans have loudly shouted their support, which deeply moved the Joel family.
On Joel's Instagram, his wife Alexis Roderick Joel shared a photo of the two of them with their daughters, expressing her thanks for the support.
“Thank you for the outpouring of love and support. We are so grateful for the wonderful care and swift diagnosis we received."
"Bill is beloved by so many, and to us, he is a father and husband who is at the center of our world."
"We are hopeful for his recovery. We look forward to seeing you all in the future.”

Their daughter Alexa also posted on her Instagram, sharing a painting that reminded her of her and her father. She wrote:
"SOUND UP! We love you and we got you, Pop!"
"I just wanted to thank you all for the beautiful outpouring of love and support amid the recent news of My Father’s health diagnosis. My Dad is the strongest and most resilient man I’ve ever known… and he’s entirely committed to making a full recovery with ongoing physical-therapy treatments as he continues to regain his strength."
"The genuine care, empathy, and concern from everyone means so much to him… it means a lot to me, too."
"‘Someday We’ll All Be Gone / But Lullabies Go On And On / They Never Die / That’s How You And I Will Be.’ The music continues…"

Joel's ex-wife Christie Brinkley shared her love.
"Dear Billy, The whole Brinkley gang is sending you lots of love and good wishes for a full and speedy recovery."
"I was looking for some cute photos of you and Alexa to send you, when I came across this clip from a recent concert. It made me laugh... but it also reminded me of all the joy you create, and all the sensational sing-alongs you’ve led… You turn an arena of strangers into a living room full of friends as we all sway in unison..."
"I’m sure I’m speaking for everyone in that room when I say, please take good care of yourself, we all want you back in that white hot spotlight. You’re OUR piano man."
