Rock legend Bruce Springsteen announced on Wednesday that he will be postponing the remainder of his September concerts to receive treatment for peptic ulcer disease.
In a statement posted to Instagram, Springsteen revealed, “Mr. Springsteen is being treated for symptoms of peptic ulcer disease and his medical advisors have advised him to postpone the rest of his September shows.”
The affected shows, which were part of his 2023 tour with the E Street Band, were scheduled to take place in New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Ohio, and Washington, D.C.
This is not the first time that the 73-year-old Springsteen has had to postpone dates during this tour. Two Philadelphia shows in August were postponed due to an undisclosed illness. Additionally, Springsteen had previously postponed three shows back in March for the same reason.
Springsteen expressed his disappointment in a note to his fans, saying, “Over here on E Street, we’re heartbroken to have to postpone these shows.” He also apologized to the fans in Pennsylvania who have now experienced delays twice, and assured them that the shows will be rescheduled.
Peptic ulcer disease is a condition where an open sore develops on the inner lining of the stomach and upper small intestine, according to the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms commonly associated with peptic ulcers include indigestion, abdominal pain, early satiety, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and burping, as explained by the clinic and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases here.
Peptic ulcers are typically caused by the H. Pylori bacteria, which can be contracted through contact with an infected person’s vomit, stool, or saliva, as well as long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen.
In his statement, Springsteen expressed gratitude towards his fans for their understanding and support, and assured them that he will be back on stage soon. Ticketholders will receive information about the rescheduled concert dates.
Springsteen & The E Street Band’s 2023 tour began on February 1 and marks Springsteen’s first major tour since The River Tour in 2017.
