Bruce Springsteen continues to recover from the vocal issues that forced him to postpone four shows on his current European tour with the E Street Band. Following the announcement of the postponements of concerts in Marseille, France; Prague, Czech Republic; and Milan Italy, fans in those cities gathered in public spaces to sing some of Springsteen’s songs in his honor.
Videos of these gatherings have been circulating on social media, and they clearly caught Springsteen’s attention. In response, Bruce has posted a new video message on his social media pages thanking his fans across the pond.

“Hi, this is Bruce Springsteen coming to you from the wildlands of New Jersey, where I am just getting over my vocal bug,” the Boss said in the video. “I have to apologize again for missing those concerts, but, more importantly, I have to thank our incredible fans in the cities of Marseille and Milan and Prague for their beautiful serenading when we weren’t feeling so good.”
He added, “It was really touching, deeply emotional, and it’s something I won’t forget. We will be back, and we will give you the show of your lives. Thank you very much.”
The message ends with a montage of video clips showing street performers and crowds of fans singing various Springsteen tunes. They include “Dancing in the Dark,” “The River,” “No Surrender,” “Thunder Road,” “Badlands,” and “Fire.”
