Bruce Springsteen announced Wednesday he is receiving treatment for symptoms of peptic ulcer disease, forcing him to postpone all his shows scheduled for September as part of his ongoing 2023 tour.
Bruce Springsteen performs at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The decision to postpone the shows was taken by Springsteen’s medical advisers, a statement said, although the severity of his symptoms is not mentioned.
The postponement will affect eight shows that were scheduled to take place across seven venues—Albany, Pittsburg, Syracuse, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Columbus and Uncasville.
Springsteen and the E Street Band’s most recent show was at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday.
The postponement of the remaining September dates means Springsteen will have a two month break to recover before his November 3 show in Vancouver.
Commenting on the postponement, Springsteen wrote: “Over here on E Street, we’re heartbroken to have to postpone these shows…We’ll be back to pick these shows up and then some. Thank you for your understanding and support. We’ve been having a blast at our U.S. shows and we’re looking forward to more great times. We’ll be back soon.”
