Bruce Springsteen Postpones San Francisco Shows Due To Illness

SAN FRANCISCO — Bruce Springsteen announced Wednesday that he will postpone all scheduled tour dates for 2023, including shows in San Francisco, as he recovers from peptic ulcer disease.

Springsteen and his famous E Street Band were set to play Dec. 2 in San Diego at the Pechanga Arena, Dec. 4 and Dec. 6 in Inglewood at the Kia Forum, and Dec. 8 and Dec. 10 in San Francisco at the Chase Center.

The 74-year-old rock icon announced earlier this month that his September concerts would be postponed and on Wednesday cited “an abundance of caution” when he disclosed the additional postponements. The year’s remaining performances will now instead take place in 2024, with new dates to be released next week. Anyone who is unable to attend the rescheduled shows and bought tickets through official companies will have 30 days to request a refund.

“Thanks to all my friends and fans for your good wishes, encouragement, and support,” Springsteen said Wednesday in a social media post. “I’m on the mend and can't wait to see you all next year.”

Peptic ulcer disease is a condition in which painful sores develop in the stomach lining or small intestine, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Symptoms include stomach pain, heartburn, bloating, nausea and vomiting.
