Karma? After Jacking Up Ticket Prices on Fans, Bruce Springsteen Cancels Yet Another Round of Shows Due to “Peptic Ulcer Disease”
73-years-old (soon to be 74) rocker Bruce Springsteen was forced to cancel all remaining eight shows in September for his 2023 International Tour due to “peptic ulcer disease”, according to a statement released Wednesday night. This is the third batch of shows this year postponed by Springsteen. Several shows in April were postponed and rescheduled to September (now cancelled again) for an unstated reason. In August, two shows in Philadelphia were postponed to August 2024 due to an unspecified illness affecting Springsteen. Springsteen and his wife Patti Scialfa both caught COVID last spring during a break between the U.S. and European legs of the tour. Several members of the E Street Band caught COVID during the early part of the U.S. tour, however no shows were canceled with other band member pulling double duty to fill in for sick E Streeters.
