GLORY DAYS OVER FOR SPRINGSTEEN!

Age & illness rob the Boss of his voice

BORN to Run dynamo Bruce Springsteen is finally slowing down after more than 50 years of relentless touring and sources say mounting health problems now threaten to silence one of rock 'n' roll's most powerful voices!

Just months after the Boss was forced to cancel a slew of U.S. concert dates due to a crippling peptic ulcer, the 74-yearold rocker axed a string of European shows in late May and early June for what his management called "vocal issues."

In his storied career, Bruce has played more than 3,500 concerts, marathon affairs lasting between three and four hours. But now fans across the globe fear the canceled shows may signal the end of his touring glory days!
