With just three dates left of Bruce Springsteen’s Land of Hope and Dreams tour, guitarist Steven Van Zandt has announced that he will be temporarily out of action in the wake of emergency appendix surgery.
The 74 year old E Street Band member underwent the emergency surgery in the Spanish city of San Sebastian, where Springsteen performed last night.
