Bruce Springsteen Postpones Tour Dates for Peptic Ulcer Illness Therapy

Bruce Springsteen has postponed all of his performances in September as he undergoes treatment for peptic ulcer disease.

The news was shared in a statement on the singer’s social media Wednesday, which noted that his medical advisors advised him to take off the rest of the month to focus on his health.

“Over here on E Street, we’re heartbroken to have to postpone these shows,” Springsteen said in a statement. “First, apologies to our fabulous Philly fans who we missed a few weeks ago. 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 US shows and we’re looking forward to more great times. We’ll be back soon.”

The announcement also comes weeks after the “Thunder Road” singer canceled two concerts in Philadelphia due to an undisclosed illness. “Due to Bruce Springsteen having been taken ill, his concerts with The E Street Band at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on August 16 and 18 have been postponed,” he shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) at the time.

The impacted shows include Syracuse, New York, (Sept. 7); Baltimore, Maryland, (Sept. 9); Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, (Sept. 12 and 14); Uncasville, Connecticut, (Sept. 16); Albany, New York, (Sept. 19); Columbus, Ohio, (Sept. 21); and Washington, DC, (Sept. 29).

His website noted that “ticketholders will receive information regarding rescheduled dates for the postponed shows.” At this point, his tour is set to resume on Nov. 3 in Vancouver.

Springsteen and the E Street Band kicked off their 2023 tour on Feb. 1 in Tampa, Florida. Since then, they have made stops across North America and Europe.
