Music icon Billy Joel is giving a rare update on his health and he sadly says he may never perform again.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter the “Just The Way You Are” singer said when it comes to his future as a performer … “I don’t know. I have to take a series of tests before I know, but … I’m not allowed to drive. And I can’t do performances because what the neurologist told me, every time you do a show, it’s like you’re getting a concussion.”
As we told you, Billy is currently auctioning off over 70 of his motorcycles and told The Hollywood Reporter “I have a condition called hydrocephalus, which makes driving a little bit iffy. So I realized it’s time for me to turn it over to somebody else.”
Proceeds from the sale of Billy's bikes will go toward his organization, The Joel Foundation.

Mike Rogers -- a former congressman who is running for Senate -- says he trusts that feds had enough evidence to raid Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's residence ... and he rejects the notion President Donald Trump is trying to persecute political enemies.
Charlie and Jacob -- our TMZDC crew -- caught up with Rogers Thursday in Michigan, and given Mike's experience as a former FBI agent, they asked him about the raid conducted at Rep. Omar's home this week.
Mike told us he's confident the FBI must've had good reason to bust down Ilhan's door. A little housekeeping on that remark -- it appears the FBI didn't conduct the raid, and it was instead done by Homeland Security Investigations ... but, it's still the feds.

Katie Zachariasays her mind was elsewhere when she took the bar exam in California ... and she failed because she was too distracted by planning her wedding.
Kate Zacharia tells Jack Posobiec that she was distracted when she took the bar exam because she had just gotten engaged, but it didn't matter anyway because passing it was "inconsequential" since she "knew I wouldn’t need the bar in China."

@justinbaragona
