Steven Van Zandt misses Springsteen gigs due to surgery
Steven Van Zandt will miss some shows with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band after undergoing surgery for appendicitis.
The 74-year-old guitarist and mandolin player assumed he had a bout of food poisoning, but it ended up being painful inflammation of the appendix.
The musician and Sopranos legend has had successful surgery at a hospital in San Sebastian, Spain, and is hoping to be recovered enough to reunite with his band mates in Milan, Italy, on either of their shows on June 30 or July 3.
He announced on X: "Got a sharp pain in my stomach, thought it was food poisoning, turned out to be appendicitis. Got lucky with an exceptional hospital in San Sebastian. Operation was a complete success and I'm hoping to get back on stage for at least one of the shows in Milan. Thank you all for all the good vibes. See you soon."
The Boss and co play Milan on Tuesday night and Gelsenkirchen, Germany, on June 27.
There is no word on who will step in for Van Zandt.
Meanwhile, Springsteen is set to release Tracks II: The Lost Albums, an 83-track box set, on June 27.
"The Lost Albums were full records, some of them even to the point of being mixed and not released. I've played this music to myself and often close friends for years now. I'm glad you'll get a chance to finally hear them. I hope you enjoy them," he said.
And there is more to come, with Tracks III ready to go and five more albums in the series.
"(There are) five full albums of music," Springsteen told The New York Times.
"There was a lot of good music left."

Bruce Springsteen explains why he felt 'capable of handling' fame at the height of his career
Bruce Springsteen felt "capable of handling" fame when he was at the height of his career. The 75-year-old rock legend first enjoyed success with his Born To Run record in the mid-1970s and then had a major resurgence with Born in the U.S.A. a decade later, and admitted that while he had "no particular interest" in staying at that level of fame, it was a "cool thing" at the time. He told The Sunday Times: "Well, I was 35. I had previous experience [of fame] at 25, so I was capable of handling the moment. Ninety per cent I enjoyed the ride, 10 per cent of it was stressful, and my take on it now is that it was a cool thing to be at the height of the cultural conversation in the pop world for a while. I just didn't have any particular interest in staying there. That's a fool's game." The Dancing in the Dark hitmaker also fronts the E Street Band but now lives in New Jersey with his wife and co-star Patti Scialfa - with whom he has Evan, 34, Jessica, 33, as well as 31-year-old Samuel - and inisisted that the kind of work he does now is more "important than the money" about more about "writing great" music. He said: "Of course, and I was lucky enough to have Elvis, the Beatles and Bob Dylan, to follow in their footsteps — or not follow in their footsteps. From there I learnt how important it was not to lose focus on who I am or the work I'm doing. It's more important than the money, although it's great to get paid well. It's more important than the fame, although that can be fun too, and a nuisance on occasion. I simply wanted to write great songs, play great shows and have a conversation with a great audience. It is what I've dedicated my life to doing.'
