Billy Joelโ€™s first ex-wife, Elizabeth Weber, has broken her silence following the iconic musicianโ€™s shocking brain disorder diagnosis.

The โ€œUptown Girlโ€ hitmaker, who was married to Weber from 1973 to 1982, revealed last month that he was diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus.

Following the diagnosis, Weber reflected on the pairโ€™s ill-fated marriage โ€” saying that she always knew the so-called Piano Man would become a star.

โ€œHeโ€™s worked so hard all of his life,โ€ Weber toldย E! Newsย at the Tribeca Festival premiere ofย โ€œBilly Joel: And So It Goesโ€ย in NYC on Wednesday.

โ€œIโ€™ve never known anybody who worked harder than he did in all those years we were together and working together.โ€

While the 5-time Grammy winner, 76, wasnโ€™t in attendance at the glitzy premiere, his wife Alexis Roderick Joel, 43, was there in his place.

โ€œI just want him to be restored to good health so he can enjoy his life and his wife and his children. He earned that,โ€ Weber said of her ex-husband. โ€œThe restoration of his good health is all I really care about.โ€

Although their union crumbled after just seven years, Weber told the outlet that she still admires his work deeply, to the point where she finds it difficult to choose a favorite track.

โ€œThereโ€™s too many of them, and theyโ€™re all marvelous,โ€ she said. โ€œSomeone can be in the audience and look at him and say, โ€˜That could be me.โ€™โ€

โ€œNot everybody can be an unnamed pianist who sings, but everyone thinks that they could do that or be that,โ€ she added.

The โ€œNew York State of Mindโ€ musician canceled all his tour dates through next year after he announced his diagnosis.

The rare disorder, which reportedlyย affects about 0.2% of peopleย between the ages of 70 and 80, occurs when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up inside the skull, presses on the brain and disrupts cognitive functioning.

โ€œBilly Joel has announced that he will be cancelling all scheduled concerts following a recent diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH),โ€ the โ€œOnly the Good Die Youngโ€ croonerโ€™s team said in aย lengthy Instagram announcementย on May 23.

โ€œThis condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance,โ€ it continued. โ€œUnder his doctorโ€™s instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience,โ€ his team added, โ€œand thank you for understanding.โ€

Following the news, his wife Alexis broke her silence on the diagnosis, thanking fans for the โ€œoutpouring of love and support.โ€

โ€œWe are so grateful for the wonderful care and swift diagnosis we received,โ€ she wrote on Instagram.

โ€œBill 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.โ€

Earlier this week, Howard Stern shared a positive update on his longtime palโ€™s well-being.

During an episode of SiriusXMโ€™sย โ€œThe Howard Stern Showโ€ย Tuesday, the 71-year-old shock jock insisted that the crooner is โ€œnot dying.โ€

โ€œI saw Billy Joel two weeks ago,โ€ he told co-host Robin Quivers. โ€œWe had dinner together.โ€

โ€œYeah, he does have issues,โ€ Stern continued. โ€œBut he said, โ€˜Yeah, you can tell people, you know, Iโ€™m not dying.โ€™ You know, he wants people to know that. He just, heโ€™s gotta deal with some medical stuff, but he was delightful.โ€
