Bruce Springsteen will not be able to perform the rest of the year.

Springsteen Cancels Due to Health

In September, Springsteen called off several shows in the hopes of recovering from a condition called peptic ulcer disease.

While the performer has been recovering from the disease, he will continue treatment for the rest of the year on his doctor’s advice, according to a statement from Springsteen and The E Street Band.

About 8 million people worldwide suffer from the condition.

What is Peptic Ulcer Disease?

Peptic ulcer disease is a condition marked by open sores that develop on the inside lining of the stomach and the small intestine, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Common symptoms include:

• Belching
• Bloating
• Feeling full too soon while eating a meal
• Feeling uncomfortably full after eating a meal
• Pain or discomfort in the upper part of the abdomen, anywhere between your belly button and breastbone. The pain may be dull or burning and may come and go over time.

Those suffering from peptic ulcer disease are usually told to cut back on their use of pain medication and limit alcohol consumption.

Many people who have peptic ulcers don’t have any symptoms. They may not develop symptoms until an ulcer leads to complications.
