Bruce Springsteen has been forced to cancel a run of tour dates due to a major health issue, with doctors urging him not to perform.
On Saturday, the 74-year-old was forced to postpone a date at Marseille "due to vocal issues", an Instagram post on his account said with "further examination and consulting has led doctors to determine that Bruce should not perform for the next 10 days."
His European stadium tour is now set to resume on June 12 in Madrid. "Additional postponements are required for Airport Letnany in Prague (originally scheduled for May 28) and San Siro Stadium in Milan (originally scheduled for June 1 and 3)," the statement added.

Another said: "Hope Bruce feels better soon. I’m sure they didn’t make this decision lightly as they know this inconveniences a significant number of fans, including many traveling from far away places." A third fan simply commented: "Oh no!"
Bruce previously cancelled planned concerts in March 2023 and rescheduled dates last year in August in the US after being taken ill. His first major tour in six years saw him play a headline gig in London's Hyde Park in July 2023.
