“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,” Alexis Roderick Joel wrote on his account.
“We are hopeful for his recovery. We look forward to seeing you all in the future,” she added.

His daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, offered her support on Instagram.
“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,” Alexa Ray Joel wrote a post.
