Bruce Springsteen's fans are mad and frustrated amid the singer's ongoing 2023 tour.

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's 2023 tour does not have a smooth sailing flow as the singer canceled several shows in the past months due to health-related issues. Fans understood his status, but something hit them recently and left them frustrated over the show.

Why Bruce Springsteen's Fans Are Furious

A report by NJ.com revealed that Springsteen has always offered similar set lists every night since his 2023 North American tour started. Per the news outlet, the band has played 65 songs across its 63 concerts.

In comparison, the singer notably performed 144 songs on 75 dates during his 2016-2017 tour as part of the anniversary celebration of his album, "The River."

Bruce Springsteen seemingly limited his performances following his successful stint on Broadway where concerts were mostly identical. Still, he and his band have not commented on the recent issue yet and whether they would spice things up in the next few days.

One fan said, "Hopefully by then, he'll remember about the number of songs he has in his arsenal, instead of the same thing every night."

"@springsteen Hi Bruce, please I had a dream... TRACKS 2 LOST ALBUMS this year. To make a perfect 50 anniversary of your first album! We had been waiting a lot for that," another wrote. "If it is possible, more changes in the setlist. Keep on rocking!!"

Springsteen has been on and off the stage due to undisclosed health issues. Previously, he canceled his shows at the Citizens Bank Park but assured fans he would reschedule them.

The singer once revealed to Vanity Fair that he struggled with depression and underwent throat surgery years ago.

Bruce Springsteen Makes New Jersey Stop Special

On Wednesday, Bruce Springsteen serenaded his over 50,000 concertgoers at his New Jersey show.

Amid people's rage over the repeated set lists, the singer added "Sherry Darling" to his performance to offer "little summer beach music" for everyone. The track, which came from his 1980 album "The River," has been hibernating since the band last played it in 2017.

During the same show, he paid tribute to his former bandmate George Theiss, who died in 2018,

"At 15, it's all hellos, and later on, there's a lot more hard goodbyes," he said, per USA Today. "The rest I'll carry right here, until the end."
