Bruce Springsteen postpones two more shows due to 'vocal issues'
In a concerning turn of events, American rock musician Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have announced the postponement of two more concerts due to Springsteen's ongoing "vocal issues." This decision follows a recent postponement of their concert in Marseilles. The band's European stadium tour will now resume on June 12 in Madrid, Spain. The decision was made under "doctor's direction," according to an announcement on the band's social media platform.
Doctor's advice led to further concert postponements
Following the recent postponement in Marseilles, further medical examination and consultation led doctors to advise that Springsteen is not fit to perform for the next 10 days. This recommendation necessitated additional postponements of concerts at Airport Letnany in Prague, originally scheduled for May 28, and San Siro Stadium in Milan, initially planned for June 1 and 3. The band's announcement confirmed this on their social media platform.
New concert dates and refund information announced
The band has assured fans that new dates for the postponed shows will be announced in due course. In the meantime, those seeking refunds can obtain them at their original point of purchase, as stated in the band's announcement. The update also confirmed that Springsteen is "recuperating comfortably" and "he and the E Street Band look forward to resuming their hugely successful European stadium tour."
Springsteen's health challenges and tour performance
Springsteen has previously faced health challenges, having postponed multiple dates on the group's North American tour last year due to a peptic ulcer. Despite these issues, the 74-year-old completed those dates earlier this year but has since struggled with voice problems. At the recent Ivor Awards in London, he acknowledged these issues but attributed them to performing an outdoor show in harsh weather conditions in Sunderland. Despite his health setbacks, Springsteen remains committed to his professional endeavors.
