Billy Joel se somete a cirugía de derivación tras atribuir su hidrocefalia a conciertos ruidosos

Billy Joel, de 77 años, se sometió a una cirugía de derivación cerebral en Connecticut después de que los médicos relacionaran su hidrocefalia de presión normal con la exposición repetida a conciertos de rock a alto volumen, y ahora está recibiendo fisioterapia, informó Fox News. Rolling Stone informó previamente que el cantante dijo que la condición lo obligó a pausar su gira porque los conciertos en vivo estaban dañando su cerebro. NBC News añadió que la implantación del derivado mejoró su equilibrio y memoria, y que seguirá las indicaciones médicas.
