Berliner Tageblatt - Bruce Springsteen postpones 2023 tour dates due to illness

The 74-year-old singer, nicknamed "The Boss," "has continued to recover steadily" and will continue treatment for the rest of the year on doctor's advice, the statement 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," he said in a statement.

Springsteen has been on tour with his "E Street Band" since the start of the year.

But earlier this month he announced he was postponing the September concerts in the United States due to his illness. He also postponed two shows in August due to an unspecified illness.

"Rescheduled dates for each of the 2023 shows, including those postponed earlier this month, will be announced next week, all taking place at their originally scheduled venues," the statement said Wednesday.

Anyone unable to attend on the new dates will be able to request a refund, it added.

Author of mega hits like "Streets of Philadelphia" and "Dancing in the Dark," Springsteen has sold more than 150 million records.
