Springsteen, Aerosmith, Madonna postpone tour dates, citing health reasons.
When Katie Perry nabbed four tickets to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band this spring in Connecticut, she couldn’t wait to see the reactions of her gleeful 60-something parents at the show. Now, she’ll have to wait until next year.
It’s been as rough a patch for Bruce fans as for their guitar hero. Digital consultant Kevin Ryan said he was checking into a Philadelphia hotel in mid-August when word reached Springsteen fans who had traveled from Australia, Los Angeles and Chicago that the show that night was off. “Talk about depressed people,” Ryan said in an interview. “I bumped into them for days.”Ozzy Osbourne, 74, abruptly dropped out of several tour dates this year because of damage to his spine.
Throw in airfare and a hotel to see a mega-show on the road, and you have an increasingly difficult call to make with so many shows being pushed back months because of COVID breakouts, peptic ulcers, shredded vocal chords and assorted other maladies. Uncertainty over a star’s health and ability to make shows is also wreaking havoc on the financial ecosystem that make tours go.
Maladies of venerable touring artists stand in stark contrast to their young brethren. During the epic spring and summer tours, megastars Taylor Swift and Beyoncé routinely put in 3-hour-plus shows with no glitches or postponements, raking in billions of dollars in ticket sales and record stadium crowds.
Nothing is a sure thing. A major test may come later this month, when U2 begins a Las Vegas residency at the Sphere At the Venetian. Lead singer Bono, who underwent lifesaving heart surgery in late 2016 after doctors found a bubble on his aorta, has been tasked with performing at least three times a week.
