For decades, conventional wisdom held that peptic ulcers were caused by stress and unhealthy eating habits. But the vast majority are caused by bacteria.
Bruce Springsteen has canceled plans to play a slate of arena concerts this month, saying the move was recommended by his medical team due to “symptoms of peptic ulcer disease.” The musician pledged to make up the dates.
Springsteen and The E Street Band had been set to perform at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, N.Y., Thursday night before heading to Baltimore for a weekend show at Camden Yards. Instead, he’ll receive medical treatment, according to a statement on his website.
“Over here on E Street, we’re heartbroken to have to postpone these shows,” Springsteen said. Acknowledging an earlier cancellation in Philadelphia, he added, “We’ll be back to pick these shows up and then some. Thank you for your understanding and support.
