Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) is a condition caused by the buildup of cerebrospinal fluid within the skull, leading to pressure on the brain.
The 76-year-old music legend’s team released a statement on Friday announcing the cancellation, citing worsening symptoms that have impacted his hearing, vision, and balance.
