Bruce Springsteen cancels shows due to 'vocal issues' shortly after wrapping up Irish dates
The news comes shortly after Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band completed sold-out shows in Belfast, Kilkenny, Cork and Dublin.
The man they call The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, has had to postpone a number of shows due to "vocal issues".
On Saturday, Bruce Springsteen was forced to postpone a date in Marseille "due to vocal issues", according to an Instagram post on his account.
Fans were told that the Marseilles date would be rescheduled, with all original show tickets valid for the new yet-to-be-announced date.
Tickets holders could also avail of a full refund of their tickets at the original point of purchase.
However, it is not just the Marseilles date that has been postponed, with additional dates in Prague on May 28 and Milan on June 1 and 3 also losing out.
Speaking on Instagram the artist said: "Further examination and consulting has led doctors to determine that Bruce should not perform for the next 10 days,".

New dates for the Prague and Milan shows are promised to be announced soon. Again, those wishing for a refund will be able to obtain it at the original point of purchase.
All going well with his recovery, Springsteen's next show will take place in Madrid on June 12.
The statement said that the musician was "recuperating comfortably" and that Springsteen "and the E Street Band look forward to resuming their hugely successful European stadium tour on June 12 in Madrid at the magnificent Civitas Metropolitan."
Bruce previously cancelled dates in the US in September 2023, after being taken ill due to a peptic ulcer and cancelled remaining 2023 concerts.
