Bruce Springsteen Postpones Tour Dates Citing ‘Vocal Issues’

Bruce Springsteen postponed 4 European tour dates citing “vocal points.”

The “Born In The USA” singer, 74, referred to as off a present on Friday, Could 24, in Marseille, France on the final minute, and Springsteen’s docs later decided “that Bruce shouldn’t carry out for the following ten days,” an announcement shared on Sunday, Could 26, revealed. He postponed a Could 28 present in Prague and two June live shows in Milan.

“New dates for these reveals will likely be introduced shortly,” Springsteen’s workforce shared by way of Instagram. “Bruce is recuperating comfortably, and he and the E Road Band stay up for resuming their massively profitable European stadium tour on June 12 in Madrid on the magnificent Civitas Metropolitan.”

Previous to the postponement, Springsteen’s 2024 leg of his in depth world tour had been with out incident. COVID-19 briefly took a number of members of his vaunted E Road Band off the touring roster in February of final yr. Stevie Van Zandt, Springsteen’s spouse Patti Scialfa and violinist Soozie Tyrell had been all briefly sidelined with Stevie apologizing to followers on X.

Springsteen himself was pressured to postpone a big chunk of his U.S. tour dates to get well from peptic ulcer illness in late 2023. The painful ulcers hindered Springsteen’s potential to sing from his diaphragm and the rock and roll legend briefly frightened that he’d by no means have the ability to carry out once more.

“My diaphragm was hurting so badly that after I went to take the time to sing, it was killing me, you already know?” a recovered Springsteen informed SiriusXM’s E Road Radio. “So, I actually couldn’t sing in any respect, you already know, and that lasted for 2 or three months, together with only a myriad of different painful issues.”

“You understand, you’re considering like, ‘Hey, am I gonna sing once more?’ and you already know, this is without doubt one of the issues I like to do one of the best, essentially the most, and proper now I can’t do it,” he added. “You understand, I can’t do it, and it took some time for the docs to say, ‘Oh no. You’re gonna be OK.’ At first, no one was fairly saying that, which made me nervous.”
