Last show of tour?

Here's the latest news in the E Street community.


Tour to finish in August
Several sources are now saying that the fall leg of the Magic tour has been scrapped and that the tour will end in Milwaukee on August 30. There may be more shows added to the August schedule (including allegedly one in Philly), but that will be it. There is no official word, let alone an official reason for this change of plans, but one source says that it's due to "health reasons" and possible recording plans. We can only speculate what might be going on behind the scenes, but this does not sound like a voluntary decision on Bruce's part. It seemed like a given that he would want to be on the road during the high tide of the presidential election.
Particularly the word "health reasons" is already making fans dread that this may be the last hoorah of the E Street Band we will be witnessing this summer, and while another band member putting down his instrument so soon after Danny's death would be almost to much to bear, that is stil a way too premature conclusion to make. The way they have been playing lately there is no reason to think they couldn't pull off another tour.

I will for sure be going to Milwaukee now for that show. Sounds like it could be the last.
