BRUCE Springsteen has postponed his tour after suffering from peptic ulcer disease.
Springsteen has been struggling with the illness in recent weeks, according to an announcement on his official social media account.
The rock 'n roll star will follow his doctor's advice and continue treatment through the rest of the year.
Springsteen was on tour with the rock band, The E Street Band, but the artists decided to cancel the rest of the tour dates for the time being.
"With this in mind, and out of an abundance of caution, all remaining 2023 tour dates for Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be postponed until 2024," the rocker's team wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Springsteen wrote in the statement: "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."
His team said that the rescheduled dates for all postponed shows will be announced next week and they will take place at their originally scheduled venues.
Ticketholders who are unable to make the new 2024 rescheduled dates and bought through official ticketing companies will have 30 days to request a refund, according to the statement.
Springsteen's announcement about his illness was released on Wednesday, just four days after the Born in the USA singer turned 74.
A peptic ulcer is a sore that forms on the lining of the esophagus, stomach, or small intestine.

This is not the first time Springsteen has canceled or postponed shows over the past year.
In March, Springsteen canceled shows in Columbus, Ohio, and Uncasville, Connecticut, about an hour northeast of New Haven.
He also had to reschedule a show in Albany, New York on March 14 "due to illness," Men's Health reported.
"No need to be anxious or afraid," said E Street guitarist Stevie Van Zandt at the time.
"Nothing serious. Just a temporary situation. We will all be back in full force very soon."
