New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen canceled both of his planned concerts at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park this week after falling ill. The late notice caught some fans off guard.
The City of Brotherly Love will have to wait a little longer to rock with "The Boss."
A message posted to Bruce Springsteen’s account on X, formerly known as Twitter, announced his scheduled concerts for Wednesday and Friday had been postponed due to illness.
"Due to Bruce Springsteen having been taken ill, his concerts with The E Street Band at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on August 16 and 18 have been postponed," the message stated.

Anyone with tickets should hold onto them for now as it is unclear when the Philly shows will go on.
"We are working on rescheduling the dates so please hold on to your tickets as they will be valid for the rescheduled shows," Springsteen's Facebook post said.
The Boss has already been to Philly in 2023
These shows -- whenever they happen -- will mark the second and third times that the New Jersey icon (he is even about to have his own statewide day) brings his band through Philly this year. After illness derailed some concerts in other cities, Springsteen took the stage for a March concert at the neighboring Wells Fargo Center.
This time, the illness has halted his tour in Philly.
