Rock star Bruce Springsteen, 74, has announced that he’s canceling his remaining 2023 tour dates due to a peptic ulcer, a sore in the lining of the stomach or small intestine.
Fans of Bruce Springsteen were crushed to learn that he had to cancel his remaining 2023 tour dates.
“Over here on E Street, we’re heartbroken to have to postpone these shows,” read a post on the Boss’ Instagram earlier this month.
“We’ve been having a blast at our US shows and we’re looking forward to more great times. We’ll be back soon. Love and God bless all, Bruce.”
The cause of the cancellations, according to Springsteen, 74, is the symptoms of a peptic ulcer.What is a peptic ulcer?
An ulcer is a general medical term for any open sore that is slow to heal, and a peptic ulcer is a sore in the lining of the stomach or small intestine.
It may also be referred to as a stomach ulcer or — if it occurs in the first part of the small intestine — a duodenal ulcer, according to the Mayo Clinic.
For generations, doctors and the general public alike were convinced that peptic ulcers were caused by stress and a diet rich in acidic foods.
As a result, millions of people suffered needlessly with a painful ulcer and were advised to avoid spicy foods in favor of milk, milk products like cottage cheese and other bland foods while taking antacids on a daily basis.
