Just two months later, his wife of 10 years shared positive news with Fox News Digital. “He’s doing well,” Roderick explained. “It’s funny, I was just having this conversation the other day. He’s going to be 76. And I don’t think of him that way. People don’t think of him in that way, but he is. And he’s been doing this job nonstop for 15 years — just this recent run.”She assured that Joel was a “healthy person” who was prioritizing his well being right now. “…He’s well and working on himself, trying to get better and do what he has to do medically,” she added. “So, it’s important, you know, we need him around, so he has to do what he has to do. I had to do what I had to do. Now he has to do what he has to do.” Fans can expect Joel to be back onstage on July 5 at the Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh.Related: Billy Ray Cyrus Signals a Fresh Start
