Bruce Springsteen is in “great shape” amid his recovery from peptic ulcer disease.
The 74-year-old rockstar had to postpone his tour after being diagnosed with a break in the inner lining of his stomach, but now E Street member Steven Van Zandt - who has played as part of his backing band since the 1970s - has revealed things are going well and they hope to be back on the road by March next year.
Van Zandt told People magazine: “He’s in great shape. It was a very, very intense first six months of the tour — maybe our most intense ever. And so we’re gonna come back with that same intensity, and it’s gonna be great. We’re gonna come back stronger than ever in March.”
Van Zandt went on to add that being in the band is “wonderful”, especially after a period of time away when they were all unsure how things would pan out, but he’s now thrilled they seem to be here to stay.
