He may be tougher than the rest, but the Boss still knows when it's time to take a break.
On Wednesday, Bruce Springsteen announced on social media that he and the E Street Band would be postponing all of their remaining 2023 tour dates as the singer continues to receive treatment for peptic ulcer disease.
"Thanks to all my friends and fans for your good wishes, encouragement, and support," Springsteen said in an Instagram statement. "I'm on the mend and can't wait to see you all next year."
All remaining tour dates, including those postponed earlier this month, will now be rescheduled at their original venues in 2024. Tickets to the events will remain valid. Those who are unable to attend the new dates, which will be revealed next week, will have 30 days to request a refund.
Earlier this month, the 73-year-old rocker revealed his health diagnosis and postponed several concerts in a social media post. At the time, Springsteen had already postponed two shows in Philadelphia after falling ill, though no details were given about the nature of his illness. Those dates were rescheduled for August 2024.

"Over here on E Street, we're heartbroken to have to postpone these shows," Springsteen said in a statement. "First, apologies to our fabulous Philly fans who we missed a few weeks ago. We'll be back to pick these shows up and then some. Thank you for your understanding and support. 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."
Springsteen kicked off his tour on Feb. 1 in Tampa, Fla., and has been criss-crossing the globe all year, mostly without a hitch, save for a brief fall onstage in Amsterdam in May. The tour was originally slated to wrap up on Dec. 12 in San Francisco.
