Bruce Springsteen returned to the stage earlier this month to perform at Phoenix, AZ’s Footprint Center after taking six months off to deal with his peptic ulcer disease. Springsteen, 74, told SiriusXM’s E Street Radio host Jim Rotolo that the comeback almost didn’t happen as the disease robbed him of his voice, and there was a moment he thought he would never sing again.
Springsteen said that during the recovery, the medical team assured him that the pain was temporary. “ ‘You’re gonna be okay.’ You know, you’re thinking like, ‘Hey, am I gonna sing again?’ and you know, this is one of the things I love to do the best, the most, and right now I can’t do it,” said Springsteen. “You know, I can’t do it, and it took a while for the doctors to say, ‘Oh no. You’re gonna be OK.’ At first, nobody was quite saying that, which made me nervous.
Springsteen announced in September 2023 that he was postponing all his remaining dates for the rest of the year due to the peptic ulcer disease diagnosis. Despite “recover steadily,” his statement said that he had to pause from performing to “continue treatment” on his doctor’s advice. “Thanks to all my friends and fans for your good wishes, encouragement, and support. I’m on the mend and can’t wait to see you all next year,” added Springsteen in the announcement.
