"Bruce is recuperating comfortably, and he and the E Street Band look forward to resuming their hugely successful European stadium tour on June 12 in Madrid at the magnificent Civitas Metropolitan," it finished.
Springsteen was last year diagnosed with Peptic Ulcer Disease and took six months off performing to recover.

"When I had the stomach problem, one of the big problems was that I couldn't sing," he said to E Street Radio host Jim Rotolo.
"My diaphragm was hurting so badly that when I went to make the effort to sing, it was killing me. So I literally couldn't sing at all."
Springsteen continued to explain that his inability to sing lasted "two or three months" and he suffered "a myriad of other painful problems".
