Springsteen, 73, is months into his first major tour in six years. He began the tour in February, and in May visited the RDS Arena in Dublin to deliver a rousing performance. Hot Press did a live review of his performance, you can read it here.

However, this is not the first time he's been impacted by his health during the tour. He postponed three shows back in March due to an unspecified illness and had to pull out of attending the American Music Honors awards show after testing positive for COVID-19.

Springsteen is currently still slated to perform next week in Massachusetts.
