Bruce Springsteen is canceling all the remaining dates on his 2023 tour due to peptic ulcer disease.
A statement shared on his Instagram reads, "Bruce Springsteen has continued to recover steadily from peptic ulcer disease over the past few weeks and will continue treatment through the rest of the year on doctor's advice."
It continued, "With this in mind, and out of an abundance of caution, all remaining 2023 tour dates for Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be postponed until 2024."
The statement concluded with a quote from Springsteen which read, "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 statement promised fans that rescheduled dates will be announced next week, with postponed tickets still valid and refunds available for those unable to attend.
The "Born to Run" singer-songwriter had been on tour since Feb. 1 of this year, his first major tour in six years, and faced several bumps in the road due to health problems.

The tour kicked off in Tampa, Florida, and a month later in March, Springsteen had to postpone several shows.
Then in April, Springsteen and his wife got COVID, but that happened during a break between the first leg of the U.S. tour and his Europe dates, so nothing was rescheduled.
In August, Springsteen abruptly canceled two concerts due to an (at the time) undisclosed illness, hours before he was set to take the stage.

A month later, the "Dancing in the Dark" singer-songwriter announced on social media that all his September dates were postponed due to peptic ulcer disease.
Peptic ulcers develop inside the stomach or small intestine, according to the Mayo Clinic. The most common symptom is stomach pain.
