Bruce Springsteen Postpones All September Shows as He’s Treated for Peptic Ulcer Disease Symptoms
Bruce Springsteen announced Wednesday (Sept. 6) that he’s postponing all his September concerts as he’s treated for symptoms of peptic ulcer disease.
“Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band have postponed all performances currently scheduled for September 2023, beginning with tomorrow’s show scheduled for the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, NY,” a statement on the band’s social media reads. “Mr. Springsteen is being treated for symptoms of peptic ulcer disease and the decision of his medical advisors is that he should postpone the remainder of his September shows.”
Some of the symptoms of peptic ulcer disease include pain or discomfort in the upper part of your abdomen, feeling uncomfortably full after eating a meal, nausea and vomiting.
The Instagram post also included this quote from Springsteen: “Over here on E Street, we’re heartbroken to have to postpone these shows. 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. Love and God bless all, Bruce.”
Springsteen and The E Street Band had nine dates scheduled this month, starting with Thursday’s show in Syracuse, New York, and wrapping Sept. 29 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.
As Springsteen alluded to in his quote, two of the dates are rescheduled Philadelphia shows that were set for last month until the rocker fell ill and moved them to September. “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,” a statement at the time read.
