The Boss is taking an unexpected breather and postponing the remainder of his 2023 shows, citing doctors' orders. Bruce Springsteen announced on his website earlier this month that he was postponing shows for the remainder of September while he was treated for symptoms of 'peptic ulcer disease.' The disease causes ulcers to form in the stomach or small intestine that can cause heartburn, nausea and stomach pain. Bruce and his band will reveal the new, postponed dates in the upcoming weeks. 'When the new 2024 dates are announced, those unable to attend on the new date who purchased their tickets through official ticketing companies have 30 days to request a refund,' a statement from the band reads.

MANILA, Philippines — The Sandiganbayan cleared businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles of 16 counts of graft in connection with the alleged anomalous use of Sen. Ramon 'Bong' Revilla Jr.'s pork barrel fund, but convicted her on separate charges for the misuse of a former Davao del Sur lawmaker's discretionary fund. The decisions, promulgated separately by the anti-graft court's first and second divisions, were made public at the same time on Monday afternoon. Napoles is presently serving multiple sentences at the Correctional Institution for Women from two earlier convictions in relation to the pork barrel scam, including life imprisonment imposed by the Sandiganbayan in 2018 for plunder.
