Bruce Springsteen thanks Ireland for ‘deeply memorable’ shows as he gives health update

The musician has postponed a number of European gigs.

The Boston rocker performed in Kilkenny, Cork, Dublin and Belfast during his stint in Ireland.

Following his Irish gigs, the 74-year-old had to postpone several upcoming shows, citing  ‘vocal issues’.

In a video on social media, the Boss said: "I’d like to thank Irish fans, our British fans, and our fans in Wales for giving us a series of shows that were deeply memorable, and we just had a great time."

In the video posted by Aiken Promotions, the organisers of Springsteen's Irish gigs, the musician said, "I’m in Marseille. Unfortunately, I could not sing for you, but we will be back, to Marseille, to Prague and to Milan to give you the show of your life that I promised you."

Aiken had previously apologised and accepted responsibility for the queuing disorder outside of Springsteen's Croke Park concert earlier this month.

A large proportion of ticketholders missed the start of The Boss’ set after chaos led to a massive queue attempting to get into the stadium.

The show was even delayed by about 15 minutes as the sold-out 80,000 crowd struggled to get in on time.

Despite the initial chaos outside Croker, Springsteen managed to salvage the night with an incredible three hour-plus show packed with hits.

Following his voice issues, it has now been confirmed that his next concert won’t be until June 12 in Madrid.

A spokesperson for the singer said: ‘Bruce is recuperating comfortably, and he 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.’
