Bruce Springsteen postpones shows over stomach ulcer -Facts And Details
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.
Springsteen had already called off two concerts in August due to the illness, and he was scheduled to play eight more shows in September. However, his doctors have advised him to take a break from touring to focus on his health.
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.
