On Tuesday, October 10, 2023, 74-year-old rock icon Bruce Springsteen provided insight into his health on his SiriusXM E Street Radio show, “From My Home to Yours.” Often referred to as “The Boss,” he announced his battle with peptic ulcer disease, using the term “monster” to describe the discomfort it causes.
The health implications of this condition made it necessary for Springsteen and The E Street Band to push back the rest of their 2023 tour. This change, although crucial for his health, was a letdown for fans around the world. In his show, Springsteen voiced his appreciation to fans, recognizing their empathy and patience in light of the news.
Addressing the situation, he said, “I’d like to thank my fans affected by our postponed shows for their understanding,” candidly discussing the gravity of his health, but with a humorous undertone.
However, fans have something to look forward to. The band will be back with 16 rescheduled tour dates, planned between March and September of the next year. This information gives a glimpse into Springsteen’s positive outlook and determination to return to live performances.
Peptic ulcer disease is marked by intense stomach pain. The ailment has several symptoms, though Springsteen hasn’t clarified which he’s facing.
