Bruce Springsteen, the 73-year-old singer, has postponed all of his September concert dates due to peptic ulcer disease symptoms. The decision to postpone the shows was made by his medical advisers.

Bruce Springsteen postpones shows: Suffering from peptic ulcer disease symptoms

Steve Bruce has left his position as Newcastle United manager by mutual consent, the Premier League team said in a statement on Wednesday, two weeks after they were taken over by a Saudi Arabian-backed consortium.

Bruce had appeared to be on borrowed time after the Premier League announced earlier this month that Newcastle had been sold to a consortium led by Saudi Arabia`s Public Investment Fund (PIF).

The 60-year-old had said following the change of ownership that he would understand if he was replaced but he was allowed to take charge of the 1,000th match in his managerial career when Newcastle hosted Tottenham Hotspur in the league, losing 3-2 last Sunday.

The signs were ominous, however, with Newcastle`s new director Amanda Staveley saying "change does not always happen overnight".

"I`m grateful to everyone connected with Newcastle United for the opportunity to manage this unique football club," Bruce said in a club statement.

"I would like to thank my coaching team, the players and the support staff in particular for all their hard work. There have been highs and lows, but they have given everything even in difficult moments and should be proud of their efforts.

"This is a club with incredible support, and I hope the new owners can take it forward to where we all want it to be. I wish everyone the very best of luck for the rest of this season and beyond."

Newcastle said Bruce`s assistant Graeme Jones will lead the team on an interim basis, starting with Saturday`s trip to Crystal Palace, and will be supported by the coaching team of Steve Agnew, Stephen Clemence, Ben Dawson and Simon Smith.

Sky Sports reported that former AS Roma manager Paulo Fonseca, who was on the radar of Tottenham Hotspur earlier this year, was among a number of contenders for the job.

Newcastle`s defeat by Spurs, attended by Staveley and others on the board, spoiled the takeover celebrations at St James` Park, with fans also calling for Bruce to be sacked as Newcastle slipped to their fifth league loss of the campaign.

Bruce, who was appointed Newcastle manager in July 2019, was already on thin ice after a dismal start to the campaign that leaves the club languishing second-from-bottom in the league without a win after eight games.

Bruce, a lifelong Newcastle fan, was an unpopular choice for some supporters following his appointment after Spaniard Rafa Benitez left the club and said he was pained by the criticism and abuse he received.

He guided Newcastle to 13th and 12th-placed finishes in the league and helped them reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and the League Cup.

"I know how tough it was for any manager at Newcastle for the last 14 years," club great Alan Shearer tweeted. "I also know how badly Steve and his family wanted it to work.

"In difficult circumstances for everybody, he kept #NUFC up for two seasons. It`s a new era now, but thank you, Steve, for your effort and commitment."

Steve Bruce quits as Newcastle manager after Saudi-led takeover of club

Former Ferrari driver Chris Amon, often described as one of the best in Formula One never to have won a race, has died at the age of 73 after a battle with cancer, family of the New Zealand motorsport great said today. 
 
Amon was part of a well-known trio of New Zealand drivers competing in Formula One in the 1960s and early 70s alongside Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme, who both enjoyed more successful careers in the sport&#39;s premier series. 
 
Bad luck was often cited as the key reason for his lack of Formula One victories, with former world champion Mario Andretti once famously saying: &quot;If he became an undertaker, people would stop dying.&quot; 
 
Like McLaren, with whom he won the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race in a Ford GT40 50 years ago, he founded his own team but Chris Amon Racing failed to achieve much success. 
 
&quot;Chris battled cancer in recent years but retained not only a close interest in Formula One and his very wide range of favourite topics, but also his wonderful sense of humour complete with infectious chuckle,&quot; Amon&#39;s family said in a statement. 
 
McLaren chairman Ron Dennis praised Amon as he paid tribute to the driver. 
 
&quot;It was with profound sadness that I heard the news this morning that Chris Amon had passed away,&quot; Dennis said in a statement. 
&nbsp; 
&quot;He nearly won a fair few, but always it seemed that his luck would run out before he saw the chequered flag,&quot; Dennis recalled, terming Amon as &quot;one of the fastest racing drivers&quot;. 
 
Williams also paid tribute to Amon who finished on the podium 11 times, also driving for March and Matra among 13 teams in a career that spanned 14 seasons.
