Bruce Springsteen Has Been Experiencing Vocal Issues Since March
Bruce Springsteen has reportedly been struggling with his voice since the E Street Band resumed its tour in March.
During an interview on SiriusXM’s E Street Radio, Springsteen spoke about being unable to sing due to peptic ulcer disease.
“My diaphragm was hurting so badly that when I went to make the effort to sing,” Bruce Springsteen explained. “It was killing me, you know? “So, I literally couldn’t sing at all and that lasted for two or three months, along with just a myriad of other painful problems…”
Springsteen further admitted that he was afraid he wasn’t going to hear good news from his doctors during the treatments. “At the end of the day, I found some great doctors,” he added. “And they straightened me out, and I can’t do anything but thank them all.”
