Springsteen has been plagued by ongoing health concerns that have resulted in several rescheduled concerts during the E Street Band's world tour, which kicked off in February 2023.
In May, Springsteen postponed concerts in three European cities due to vocal issues and in September 2023, the 74-year-old rocker announced he had to reschedule more than 20 shows as he recovered from "peptic ulcer disease."
He previously rescheduled some shows prior to that, writing in a statement at the time that he'd "taken ill."
