Bruce Springsteen Is Ill, Postpones Two Tour Dates

variety.com:

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Bruce Springsteen may be haunting the pharmacies of Philadelphia, as his being under the weather has been cited as the reason for the postponement of two shows that were supposed to take place in the city.

An announcement on his X/Twitter page said that concerts on Wednesday and Friday night would need to be rebooked. “Due to Bruce Springsteen having been taken ill, his concerts with the E Street Band at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on August 16 and 18 have been postponed,” said the social media account. “We are working on rescheduling the dates so please hold on to your tickets as they will be valid for the rescheduled shows.” Springsteen has some time to recuperate before the following dates on the tour are affected.

The next scheduled concert dates for the band are just over a week away — Aug. 24 and 26 in Foxborough, Mass. The Philadelphia news marks the third time this year that illness has been cited in a postponement or cancellation, although it’s not clear that it was Springsteen himself becoming sick in every instance.

Back in March, three concerts — in Albany, Columbus and Uncasville, CT — were put off and rescheduled for September, “due to illness,” without further specification.
