Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt and Nils Lofgren perform at UBS Arena on April 11, 2023 in Elmont, New York.
Bruce Springsteen will not be able to perform for the rest of this year, the rock icon announced Wednesday, as he continues to fight peptic ulcer disease.
"Bruce Springsteen has continued to recover steadily from peptic ulcer disease over the past few weeks and will continue treatment through the rest of the year on doctor's advice," according to a statement from Springsteen and his E Street Band.
Peptic ulcer disease is the wearing away of the stomach lining, which can be asymptomatic or cause debilitating pain.
Those suffering from peptic ulcer disease are usually told to cut back on their use of pain medication and limit alcohol consumption.
