According to recent reports, all 2023 tours of Bruce Springsteen have been canceled until 2024 due to peptic ulcer disease. This follows a prior statement he had issued earlier this month, indicating that he would postpone all his September shows for the same reason.
The Dancing In The Dark singer took it to his X account to inform his fans that rescheduled dates for all canceled shows would be announced the following week. All the postponed shows, including those canceled earlier this month, will take place at their originally set venues in 2024.
Springsteen has since begun his recovery journey after his doctor’s advice to forego his planned tours to focus on getting better.
So, What Does this Mean for Bruce Springsteen Fans?
While it may be disappointing to fans who had bought tickets for the shows, it’s not all at a loss. The band has since issued a statement regarding the refund of the already-issued ticket.
In the statement, those who had purchased their tickets via official ticketing companies were given 30 days to request refunds. All these tickets remain valid for rescheduled shows.
Springsteen’s social media handles were filled with well wishes and quick recovery messages from his die-hard fans. Their anticipation for Springsteen’s 2024 return is evident in their statements, with some thanking him and the E Street Band for all the music they have given the world.

About Peptic Ulcers Disease
Medical experts describe peptic ulcers as open sores that usually develop inside the stomach walls and upper portion of the small intestine.
The sores occur when the thick mucus protecting the stomach lining from the invasion of its digestive juices wears off, allowing the acids into its tissue.
According to reports, at least one in ten people suffer from peptic ulcers, with the condition estimated to affect about 4 million people in the US every year.
Although the cause of peptic ulcer may vary from one individual to another, its most common cause is H. Pylori (Helicobacter pylori), as well as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen sodium.
Final Word
Considering the fact that Springsteen is over 70 years old, continuing his tours as planned would heighten current. The decision to postpone the shows comes from his doctor’s perspective, and we can all agree that health comes first.
Springsteen’s dedication to getting better shows how committed the singer is to making a stronger return for his fans in 2024. After all, The Boss has been performing for more than 50 years in his career. We can only wish him a quick recovery as he plans on entertaining us in 2024.
