Springsteen, 74, thanked fans for the “good wishes, encouragement and support.”
What To Watch For

Key Background
Earlier this month, Springsteen announced he was postponing eight shows across seven cities—Albany, Pittsburg, Syracuse, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Columbus and Uncasville—due to his health issues. He was scheduled to return to the stage November 3 in Vancouver, but now the band won’t return until the new year. Springsteen and the E Street Band began their tour in February, after the band’s 2020/2021 tour was disrupted by the pandemic.
Tangent
Peptic ulcer disease occurs when a sore develops on the lining of a person’s stomach, according to the National Institute of Health, affects between 1% and 6% of people in the U.S. and is more common in older adults.
