Billy Joel recovering from hip-replacement surgery

Billy Joel won't be heading uptown to see his girl for a little while.

The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer is recovering from surgery to replace both of his hips. Joel, 61, underwent surgery last week to correct a congenital condition and is "doing extremely well," his spokeswoman tells People.

Joel toured earlier this year, but he's been slowed by the condition in his hips -- he's been walking with a cane in recent weeks -- and opted to have them both replaced in one operation.

There's no word yet on when he'll be able to perform again. We wish him a smooth recovery.
