Bruce Springsteen Postpones Four European Shows Due to Vocal Issues

Rock legend Bruce Springsteen has postponed several shows on the E Street Band’s European tour due to “vocal issues,” according to People.

A statement on Springsteen’s Instagram account explained, “Following yesterday’s postponement in Marseille due to vocal issues, further examination and consulting has led doctors to determine that Bruce should not perform for the next ten days.”

The postponed shows include performances at Airport Letnany in Prague, Czech Republic, and San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy, scheduled for May 28, June 1, and June 3. The statement noted, “New dates for these shows will be announced shortly,” and provided instructions for ticket holders to request refunds from their point of purchase.

“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,” the statement concluded.

Following the announcement, many fans expressed their concerns and well-wishes for the rock singer.

As reported by People, the band began their 2024 European tour on May 5 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, and plans to continue through July 24 at Wembley Stadium in London, England. The tour also includes stops in Barcelona, Spain; Nijmegen, Netherlands; Hannover, Germany; and Stockholm, Sweden, among other cities.

In 2023, Springsteen postponed several tour dates in September due to peptic ulcer disease but returned to the stage in March in Phoenix, Arizona, reported People.
