Bruce Springsteen was heartbroken after having to postpone the remainder of his September shows due to health reasons.
The 73-year-old music icon announced that he would be taking another break from touring as he undergoes treatment for “symptoms of stomach ulcer disease.”
The post on the singer’s account read: “Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band have postponed all performances currently scheduled for September 2023, starting with tomorrow’s show at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, NY.”
‘Mister. Springsteen is being treated for symptoms of stomach ulcer disease and his medical advisers decided he should postpone the rest of his shows in September.
“Springsteen made the following comment: ‘Here on E Street we are heartbroken to have to postpone these shows.'”

“First, I want to apologize to our amazing Philly fans who we missed a few weeks ago. ‘We will be back to pick up these shows and more.’
“Thank you for your understanding and support.” We had a lot of fun at our shows in the USA and look forward to more great times. We will be back soon. Love and God bless everyone, Bruce.”
A second slide in the post informed fans that ticket holders “will receive information about rescheduled dates for the rescheduled shows.”
Bruce and the E Street Band were scheduled to perform in Syracuse, New York, on Thursday, although it’s unlikely he’ll make it.
His other upcoming performances in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Ohio, New York and Washington DC are also currently on hold.
Peptic ulcer disease “occurs when open sores or ulcers form in the stomach or first part of the small intestine,” according to the Cleveland Clinic.
“Many cases of stomach ulcers occur because a bacterial infection destroys the protective lining of the digestive system.” “People who frequently take painkillers are more likely to develop ulcers.”
Treatment for peptic ulcer disease may include medication or surgery.

His most recent studio album with the E Street Band – Letter To You, which topped the charts in eleven countries – was their first live recording together in decades.
Springsteen is one of the best-selling artists in the world – in addition to his Grammys, he has won two Golden Globes, an Oscar and a Special Tony Award.
He has also been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In May, Springsteen inadvertently made his Amsterdam performance one fans won’t soon forget after he took a serious fall on stage.

The I’m On Fire singer caused a stir among fans when he tripped and fell after climbing several steps on stage.
Fans watched as The Boss rolled onto his back and lay on the floor, guitar still in hand, before his concerned colleagues immediately rushed over to help him.
His guitarist intervened to remove his instrument while two concert staff manually lifted Bruce back to his feet.
Luckily, the fall didn’t shake Bruce too much. Allaying any concerns from his fans, Bruce quickly smiled before addressing the audience.
