73-years-old (soon to be 74) rocker Bruce Springsteen was forced to cancel all remaining eight shows in September for his 2023 International Tour due to \u201cpeptic ulcer disease\u201d, according to a statement released Wednesday night. This is the third batch of shows this year postponed by Springsteen. Several shows in April were postponed and rescheduled to September (now cancelled again) for an unstated reason. In August, two shows in Philadelphia were postponed to August 2024<\/a> due to an unspecified illness affecting Springsteen. Springsteen and his wife Patti Scialfa both caught COVID last spring during a break between the U.S. and European legs of the tour. Several members of the E Street Band caught COVID during the early part of the U.S. tour, however no shows were canceled with other band member pulling double duty to fill in for sick E Streeters. <\/p>\n

The Mayo Clinic says <\/a>about the causes of \u201cpeptic ulcer disease\u201d:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most common causes of peptic ulcers are infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and naproxen sodium (Aleve). Stress and spicy foods do not cause peptic ulcers. However, they can make your symptoms worse.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Springsteen became health conscious after having to postpone over a month of shows in 1981<\/a> on the River Tour due to \u201cexhaustion.\u201d <\/p>\n

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band have postponed all performances currently scheduled for September 2023, beginning with tomorrow\u2019s show scheduled for the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, N.Y.

Springsteen made the following comment:<\/p>\n

\u201cOver here on E Street, we\u2019re heartbroken to have to postpone these shows. First, apologies to our fabulous Philly fans who we missed a few weeks ago. We\u2019ll be back to pick these shows up and then some. Thank you for your understanding and support. We\u2019ve been having a blast at our U.S. shows and we\u2019re looking forward to more great times. We\u2019ll be back soon.<\/p>\n

The tour got off to a rocky start when tickets went on sale last summer for the tour that began in February in Tampa, Florida, when fans were shocked that Springsteen was using Ticketmaster\u2019s \u201cdynamic pricing\u201d to jack up ticket prices. This was new to fans who had grown accustomed to Springsteen charging below market rates for decades so fans could afford to see one or multiple shows during a tour. The fanzine Backstreets shut down in protest<\/a> over the Boss\u2019 new ticket pricing scheme<\/p>\n

Springsteen was silent for months on the ticket prices, finally giving a dismissive comment to Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201d I know it was unpopular with some fans. But if there\u2019s any complaints on the way out, you can have your money back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rolling Stone: \u201cIt caused a bit of an uproar in the fan community because some of the tickets used dynamic prices, and some tickets hit $5,000. Did you know in advance about those price points and dynamic pricing, and do you have any regrets about that?\u201d<\/p>\n

Bruce Springsteen: \u201cWhat I do is a very simple thing. I tell my guys, \u201cGo out and see what everybody else is doing. Let\u2019s charge a little less.\u201d That\u2019s generally the directions. They go out and set it up. For the past 49 years or however long we\u2019ve been playing, we\u2019ve pretty much been out there under market value. I\u2019ve enjoyed that. It\u2019s been great for the fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis time I told them, \u201cHey, we\u2019re 73 years old. The guys are there. I want to do what everybody else is doing, my peers.\u201d So that\u2019s what happened. That\u2019s what they did [laughs].<\/p>\n

\u201cBut ticket buying has gotten very confusing, not just for the fans, but for the artists also. And the bottom line is that most of our tickets are totally affordable. They\u2019re in that affordable range. We have those tickets that are going to go for that [higher] price somewhere anyway. The ticket broker or someone is going to be taking that money. I\u2019m going, \u201cHey, why shouldn\u2019t that money go to the guys that are going to be up there sweating three hours a night for it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt created an opportunity for that to occur. And so at that point, we went for it. I know it was unpopular with some fans. But if there\u2019s any complaints on the way out, you can have your money back.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shows have been well received by fans but with some grumbling over static set lists for the shows which have centered on the aging rocker at once focusing on his mortality after the death a few years ago of the founder if his first rock band when both men were in their teens in the 1960s while also celebrating the vitality of life itself. The shows have been free of Springsteen\u2019s liberal politics save for a Ukraine flag guitar played by Little Steven Van Zandt during the usual show opener, No Surrender. <\/p>\n\n

Springsteen took a fall on stage last May during the European leg of the tour in Amsterdam, but was not injured.<\/p>\n
