Bruce Springsteen Worried Peptic Ulcer Disease Might Permanently Sideline Him: ‘Am I Gonna Sing Again?’

Bruce Springsteen said during his battle with peptic ulcer disease there was a point where he feared he might never sing again.

Bruce Springsteen made a triumphant return to performance last week in Phoenix, taking the stage with the E Street band to relaunch their world tour after a six-month break due to the singer’s battle with peptic ulcer disease. But in an interview with E Street Radio host Jim Rotolo (via Deadline) the 74-year-old rock icon said there was a point recently when he feared he might never perform live again. “So, I literally couldn’t sing at all, you know, and that lasted for two or three months, along with just a myriad of other painful problems.” At a certain point, Springsteen said he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to return to his signature high-energy performance style at all.
