Bruce Springsteen, 74, is in Europe touring the country. However, he needs to take some time off.
His people said, “Following yesterday’s postponement in Marseille due to vocal issues, further examination and consulting has led doctors to determine that Bruce should not perform for the next ten days.”
The Boss is slated to play dates in Europe until the end of July.
Yesterday was the 2nd Annual American Music Honors at the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music, and of course, The Boss had to sing a song for the crowd.
What song did he sing? He entertained the audience with John Mellencamp’s Small Town. And there was one person who was so entertained that he got up from the audience to sing with Bruce.
Who was that individual? It was Mellencamp himself. And the singer was there because he was being honored for his social activism, such as Farm Aid.
What an honor it must have been to hear them sing that duet in person. I hope we get to hear it again at Joe Biden’s second inauguration in January.
Bruce Springsteen, 74, was in the middle of his world tour but then put the breaks on it in early September. That is because the singer is suffering from symptoms of peptic ulcer disease, and his doctors told him to take the month off.
Today, his people gave an update on when he will restart his tour, and doctors advised him to take the rest of 2023 off as he steadily recovers.
Springsteen has a message for his fans, “Thanks to all my friends and fans for your good wishes, encouragement, and support. I’m on the mend and can’t wait to see you all next year.”
The new dates are expected to be announced next week.
Before Bruce Springsteen was selling out stadiums all over the world, he was playing a Columbia Records showcase at the Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles. Even at the tender age of 23, he knew how to command the stage and wow the audience during that 1973 performance.
