🎸 Bruce Springsteen Cancels 2025 World Tour Amid Health Struggles, Biopic “Deliver Me from Nowhere” Set to Premiere This Year
April 25, 2025 — New York
Bruce Springsteen, the legendary American rock icon, has officially canceled his entire 2025 world tour due to ongoing vocal health concerns. At 75, the artist—affectionately known as “The Boss”—continues to face lingering effects from a recent bout of vocal strain, a setback compounded by a six-month hiatus in 2023–2024 following a serious case of peptic ulcer disease.
According to sources including Sportlands and the New York Post, the decision to halt all tour activities was made in light of Springsteen’s persistent vocal difficulties. Medical professionals have advised the artist to prioritize long-term recovery and overall health, prompting the difficult but necessary call to step away from the stage. The E Street Band, who were set to accompany Springsteen on the global tour, have also expressed their full support for his decision.
Despite the disappointment for fans, 2025 will still be a landmark year for Springsteen—not on stage, but on screen.
A highly anticipated biographical film, Deliver Me from Nowhere, is set to premiere later this year. Directed by Scott Cooper, the film delves into the creation of Springsteen’s critically acclaimed 1982 album Nebraska. Actor Jeremy Allen White takes on the role of Springsteen, while Stephen Graham stars as Springsteen’s late father, Douglas “Dutch” Springsteen.
Springsteen has reportedly been deeply moved by Graham’s performance, sharing that the portrayal brought his father “back to life.” The film has already generated considerable buzz within both the music and film communities, with early reactions praising its emotional depth and authenticity.
Additionally, a new documentary, Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band, will be released on October 25, 2025, on Hulu and Disney+. Directed by longtime collaborator Thom Zimny, the film provides an intimate look behind the scenes of the band’s touring life from 2023 to 2025.
Even as he steps back from performing, Bruce Springsteen continues to cement his legacy—not just through music, but through powerful storytelling on screen.
