In August, he postponed two shows due to an unspecified illness.

Author of mega hits like "Streets of Philadelphia" and "Dancing in the Dark," Springsteen has sold more than 150 million records.

According to Mayo Clinic, peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the inside stomach lining and the upper portion of the small intestine. The most common symptom is abdominal pain.
