Steven Van Zandt revealed on Monday he had emergency surgery for appendicitis while on tour with Bruce Springsteen.

“Got a sharp pain in my stomach, thought it was food poisoning, turned out to be appendicitis,” Van Zandt, 74, posted to social media. “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.”

Van Zandt, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the group in 2014, is on Land of Hope and Dreams Tour with Springsteen and the E Street Band.

The tour is set to conclude on July 3 at San Siro Stadium in Milan.
