Bruce Springsteen Postpones More Shows After Playing UK in Pouring Rain, Then Performing Next Day and Accepting Award at Ceremony

Bruce Springsteen overdid it, and now he’s paying the price.

Springsteen and the E Street Band have cancelled two more shows — in Prague and Milan — after suddenly postponing Marseille. They say they’ll return to work on June 12th in Madrid. That’s two weeks from now.

The band played a three hour show in Sunderland, England in pouring rain. The next day Springsteen accepted the Ivor Award in London — the first international songwriter to receive the distinction. Sir Paul McCartney inducted him.

At the ceremony, Springsteen’s voice was cracking and sounded scratchy.

Bruce sent himself and his health issues up on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” this past season. He’ll probably get an Emmy nomination for it. But message to Bruce: this is real life! Take care of yourself!
