In September 2023, Bruce Springsteen was forced to postpone the remainder of his tour so that he could recover from peptic ulcer disease—doctor’s orders. Thankfully, by early 2024, he was back to his rock god self and able to pick up right where he left off. He relaunched his tour with a show in Phoenix on 19 March, during which he apologised to the crowd for any “inconvenience”. (As if anyone in that deafening crowd could be mad at the Boss!). The nearly 30-song set includes fan favourites like “Born to Run” and “Dancing in the Dark”, along with a few surprise covers (the Phoenix date featured “Nightshift” by The Commodores and “Twist and Shout” by The Beatles). Springsteen is joined as usual by The E Street Band, a full horn and brass section and four backup singers, and will play dozens of rescheduled shows in Los Angeles, D.C., Calgary and more, before wrapping in Vancouver in November.
