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."

Rock legend speaks at local lecture series
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — There was a sold-out crowd in Youngstown Tuesday as people came to listen to a rock-n-roll legend and a star of the TV series The Sopranos. Wearing his trademark bandana, Steven Van Zandt spoke to 1,500 people at Stambaugh Auditorium as part of Youngstown State's Centofanti Symposium. Van Zandt is one of the original members of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band but he began his talk with how he became a political activist. 'And we were taught, of course, that America was doing the right thing worldwide — always. And then reading books, I realized that was not exactly the case. We were occasionally on the wrong side of a few things and that really bothered me,' he said. After Van Zandt was greeted with a standing ovation he remarked that he has to get to Youngstown more often. He also commented on the beauty of Stambaugh Auditorium.
