Bruce Springsteen Postpones Concerts Amid Treatment for Peptic Ulcer Disease

Bruce Springsteen, known as "The Boss," delivered disappointing news to his fans regarding the postponement of several upcoming shows on his 2023 World Tour due to health issues. The iconic "Born in the U.S.A." artist shared this unfortunate update, highlighting that even someone of his stature can't control fate.

In a statement posted on the band's Twitter account, it was revealed that all September 2023 performances, starting with the upcoming show in Syracuse, N.Y., would be postponed. This decision was made as Bruce Springsteen is undergoing treatment for symptoms related to peptic ulcer disease, as advised by his medical team.

The 73-year-old rock legend expressed his disappointment, apologizing to the Philadelphia fans who missed out on a show a few weeks earlier. He assured them that these postponed shows would be rescheduled, and he thanked his fans for their understanding and support. Springsteen emphasized how much he has enjoyed performing at U.S. shows and eagerly anticipates returning soon.

This news followed an incident just over three months ago when Springsteen took a fall on stage during a concert in Amsterdam. During a performance of "Ghosts" from his 2020 album "Letter to You," he miscalculated a step, resulting in a tumble. Video footage captured the moment, showing Springsteen using his left hand to break his fall while still holding onto the microphone. Fortunately, his guitar remained unharmed. After a brief intermission, Springsteen returned to the stage, demonstrating his dedication to his music and fans.
