The 76-year-old musician got candid about having Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) in an interview on Bill Maher‘s Club Random podcast.

In his initial announcement, his reps said the “condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance.” See more from the statement.
