He also issued a statement, reassuring fans that his health is improving. In his concluding remarks, he said: “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 statement additionally explained that the new dates for all postponed concerts will be announced next week. The shows will be held at the same venues, but refunds will be available upon request, as per the note.
Springsteen originally postponed two shows in Philadelphia in mid-August after being “taken ill”. Although no additional details were available at the time, it was disclosed that he was recovering from peptic ulcer disease once his September performances were announced as being postponed.
“We’ll be back to pick these shows up and then some,” he continued. “Thank you for your understanding and support. We’ve been having a blast at our US shows and we’re looking forward to more great times. We’ll be back soon.”
Peptic ulcer is a disease that enters the stomach through the esophagus, leading to the development of a painful bacterial infection which eats away the protective lining of the digestive system.
