Fans rallied around the rock legend after hearing the news.
One fan @Tougher_TT_Rest, who commented under the announcement, wrote: “Get well, see you down the road.”
Another user @Echo_5_Deltan shared: “No way! I flew to Philly for your show!! Feel better.”
With a third fan @dayjay77 pointing out: “The main and only focus is on Bruce’s health. Get well and feel better Boss man!”
While @whateverman1A penned: “Just saw him in Chicago last week and he and the band were amazing. Hoping for a speedy recovery!”
Unfortunately, this is not the first set of shows that Bruce has had to postpone this year due to health concerns.
On March 9, the Nationwide Arena in Ohio announced that his show that night would not go ahead.
They too revealed the reason behind the cancellation was due to Bruce suffering from an “illness”, but did not specify any further details.
Just like the fans who planned to see Bruce in action tonight and Friday in Philadelphia, fans were assured that the dates would be rescheduled and that they should keep their original tickets.
