Bruce Springsteen postpones 2023 tour dates due to peptic ulcer disease

Bruce Springsteen announces that all remaining 2023 tour dates are postponed until 2024 due to his ongoing treatment for peptic ulcer disease.

Bruce Springsteen, previously known as Twitter, made an announcement in early September that he was undergoing treatment for symptoms of a disease. His medical advisors advised him to postpone his September concerts, and now it has been decided that the shows scheduled for the rest of the year will also be rescheduled.

Peptic ulcer disease is a condition that can be easily treated, but if left untreated, it can lead to serious complications such as internal bleeding, stomach wall erosion, or even stomach cancer. This disease occurs when the acid in the stomach or small intestine erodes the lining, resulting in the formation of an ulcer.

The most common symptom of peptic ulcer disease is stomach pain, although some individuals may not experience any symptoms at all, as reported by the Mayo Clinic. The disease is often caused by a bacterial infection or by long-term use of anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen, Advil, and Aleve. It is important to note that stress and spicy foods do not directly cause peptic ulcers, but they can exacerbate symptoms.

On a specific date (X Wednesday), Springsteen's team provided an update on his condition. They stated that he has been steadily recovering from peptic ulcer disease and will continue treatment for the remainder of the year based on his doctor's advice. As a precautionary measure, all remaining tour dates for Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band in 2023 will be postponed until 2024.

According to the announcement, the already postponed concerts and their rescheduled dates for each of the 2023 shows will be revealed in the upcoming week. It is important to note that all shows will still take place at their originally planned venues.

Springsteen expressed his gratitude to his friends and fans for their well wishes, encouragement, and support. He assured them that he is on the road to recovery and is looking forward to seeing everyone next year.

Once the new dates are announced, ticketholders who purchased their tickets through official ticketing companies will have a 30-day window to request a refund if they are unable to attend the rescheduled date. It is also important to mention that all tickets for the postponed performances will remain valid for the newly announced dates.
