The NHS, the UK’s National Health Service, says that stomach ulcers can cause a burning or gnawing pain in the abdomen, as well as indigestion, heartburn, acid reflux, and nausea.

In a statement, Springsteen said that he and his E Street Band were “heartbroken” to have to postpone the shows, but that they wanted to make sure he was able to get the treatment he needs. He also apologized to his fans in Philadelphia, who were scheduled to see him perform on August 16 and 18.

Springsteen said that he and his band are “looking forward to more great times” and that they will be back “soon.” The new dates for the postponed shows have not yet been announced.

In addition to the physical symptoms of peptic ulcer disease, the condition can also cause emotional distress. Springsteen has been open about his struggles with mental health in the past, and it is possible that the stress of touring has contributed to his illness.
