Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band were forced to postpone two more shows on their current tour.
Tour stops on March 12 in Uncasville, CT and March 14 in Albany, NY were both postponed due to illness. The postponements were confirmed via a statement shared on Springsteen's social media channels. Each postponement statement let fans know, "We are working on rescheduling the date so please hold on to your tickets as they will be valid for the rescheduled show." The first date of The Boss's new tour with the E Street Band to be postponed was their March 9 show in Columbus, Ohio.
Details as to who was ill were not shared. However, it may be safe to assume The Boss might be under the weather. Various E Street Band members have tested positive for COVID-19 since the tour kicked off on February 1. Among them were guitarist Steven Van Zandt and saxophonist Jake Clemons. Despite them taking some nights off to rest and recoup, the shows have gone on as scheduled.
The next show on the tour is set for March 16 in Philadelphia. As of publishing, the show is still going on as scheduled.
