Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born
September 23, 1949) is an American singer, Bruce Springsteen
songwriter, and guitarist. Nicknamed "the Boss",
Springsteen has released 21 studio albums
spanning six decades; most of his albums feature
the E Street Band, his backing band since 1972.
Springsteen is a pioneer of heartland rock,
combining commercially successful rock with
poetic, socially conscious lyrics that reflect
working class American life. He is known for his
energetic concerts, some of which last more than
four hours.

Springsteen released his first two albums,

Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. and The Wild,
the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle, in 1973.
Although both were well received by critics,
neither earned him a large audience. He changed

and 2021, Springsteen performed the critically
acclaimed show Springsteen on Broadway, in
which he performed songs and told stories from
his 2016 autobiography; an album version from the Broadway performances was released in
2018. He released the solo album Western Stars in 2019, Letter to You with the E Street Band in
2020, and a solo covers album entitled Only the Strong Survive in 2022. Letter to You reached
No. 2 in the US, making Springsteen the first artist to release a top-five album in six consecutive
decades.

A prominent musician from the album era, Springsteen has sold more 140 million records
worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. His accolades include 20
Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, an Academy Award, and a Special Tony Award. He was
inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999,
received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2009, was named MusiCares person of the year in 2013,
and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016 and the National Medal of Arts in
2023. In 2010, Rolling Stone ranked Springsteen 23rd on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of
All Time", describing him as "the embodiment of rock and roll". In 2025, Springsteen became
one of only of five artists to gross over $2.3 billion in touring thanks to his 2023-2025 Tour with
the E Street Band.

Early life and education

Springsteen was born at Monmouth Medical Center in
Long Branch, New Jersey, on September 23, 1949,[3] to
Douglas Frederick "Dutch" Springsteen (1924–1998)
and his wife, Adele Ann (née Zerilli; 1925–2024).[4]
Springsteen's father[5][6] worked as a bus driver and
other jobs.[5] His father had mental health issues
throughout his life, which worsened in his later life.[7]
His mother, who was originally from the Bay Ridge
neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York,[8] worked as a
legal secretary and was the family's main breadwinner. Springsteen attended Freehold High
[9] He is of Dutch, Irish, and Italian descent,[10] and School in Freehold Borough, New Jersey,
where a former teacher described him as
grew up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey.[11] a "loner who wanted nothing more than to
play his guitar". He graduated in 1967,

Dutch families who, in the 17th century, settled in graduation ceremony.[2]
colonial-era America, then part of the Dutch Republic
known as New Netherland.[12] Springsteen's paternal
ancestor, John Springsteen, was a patriot in the American Revolution, which evolved into the
Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. The Springsteen surname originates
in Groningen, a province in the Netherlands,[13] and is topographic, translating to "jump stone"

and meaning a stepping stone used on unpaved streets or between two houses.[14][15]
Springsteen's Italian maternal grandfather was born in Vico Equense and emigrated through
Ellis Island.[16] He arrived in the United States unable to read or write English, but went on to
become a lawyer and impressed the young Springsteen as being "larger than life".[17]

Springsteen has two younger sisters, Virginia and Pamela (born c. 1962). Pamela Springsteen
worked briefly as an actress and later as a photographer; she took photos for three Springsteen
albums, Human Touch, Lucky Town, and The Ghost of Tom Joad.[18]

Springsteen attended the St. Rose of Lima Catholic School in Freehold, where he was at odds
with the nuns and rebelled against the strictures imposed upon him, though some of his later
music reflected a Catholic ethos and included Irish Catholic hymns with a rock music twist.[19]
In 2012, Springsteen said that it was his Catholic upbringing rather than his political ideology
that most influenced his music. He said his faith gave him a "very active spiritual life" but joked
that this "made it very difficult sexually" and added "once a Catholic, always a Catholic".[7][20]
He grew up hearing fellow New Jersey singer Frank Sinatra on the radio, and became interested
in being a musician by the age of seven after seeing Elvis Presley's performances on The Ed
Sullivan Show in 1956 and 1957. Soon after, his mother rented him a guitar from Mike Diehl's
Music in Freehold for $6 a week, but it failed to provide him with the instant gratification he
desired.[21]

In ninth grade, Springsteen entered Freehold High School, a public high school, but did not fit
in there either. A former teacher said Springsteen was a "loner who wanted nothing more than
to play his guitar". He graduated in 1967, but felt so alienated that he skipped his graduation
ceremony.[2] He briefly attended Ocean County College, but dropped out.[19] At age 19,
Springsteen was called for his draft physical, but failed it because of a concussion he suffered in
a motorcycle accident two years earlier combined with his behavior at induction, both of which
reportedly made him unacceptable for military service. In failing his examination, Springsteen
likely avoided service in the Vietnam War.[22] In 1969, when he was 20 years old, Springsteen's
parents and sister Pamela moved to San Mateo, California; he and his sister Virginia, who was
married and pregnant at the time, remained in Freehold.[23][24][25][26]

Career

1964–1972: Early career

In 1964, Springsteen saw the Beatles' televised appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show. Inspired,
he bought his first guitar for $18.95 at the Western Auto appliance store.[27][28] Thereafter, he
started playing for audiences with a band called the Rogues at local venues, including Elks
Lodge in Freehold.[29] Later that year, his mother took out a loan to buy him a $60 Kent guitar,
an act he later memorialized in his song "The Wish". In 1965, he went to the house of Tex and
Marion Vinyard, who sponsored young bands in town. They helped him become the lead
guitarist and subsequently one of the lead singers of the Castiles, a band that recorded two
original songs at a public recording studio in Brick Township and played a variety of venues,
including Cafe Wha? in Greenwich Village. Marion Vinyard said she believed the young
Springsteen when he promised he would make it big.[30][31] In the late 1960s, Springsteen
performed briefly in a power trio known as Earth, who played in various clubs in New Jersey

and at a major show at the Hotel Diplomat in New York

City.[30]

Springsteen and other E Street Band
members played regularly in the 1970s.

with the band Child, which later changed its name to
Steel Mill and included Danny Federici, Vini Lopez,
Vinnie Roslin, and later Steven Van Zandt and Robbin Thompson. Steel Mill performed at
various Jersey Shore venues and also outside of New Jersey, in Richmond, Virginia;[32]
Nashville, Tennessee; and California,[30] and gathered a cult following. In his January 1970
review of Steel Mill's show at The Matrix, music critic Philip Elwood wrote in the San Francisco
Examiner that he had "never been so overwhelmed by a totally unknown talent"[33] and called
Steel Mill "the first big thing that's happened to Asbury Park since the good ship Morro Castle
burned to the waterline of that Jersey beach in '34".[30] Elwood praised the band's "cohesive
musicality" and called Springsteen "a most impressive composer".[34] In San Mateo, Steel Mill
recorded three original Springsteen songs at Pacific Recording.[35]

As Springsteen sought to shape a unique and genuine musical and lyrical style, he performed
with the bands Dr. Zoom & the Sonic Boom from early-to-mid-1971, the Sundance Blues Band
in mid-1971, and the Bruce Springsteen Band from mid-1971 to mid-1972.[36] His songwriting
ability included, as his future record label described it in early publicity campaigns, "more
words in some individual songs than other artists had in whole albums". He brought his skills to
the attention of several people who went on to prove influential to his career development,
including managers Mike Appel and Jim Cretecos, who in turn brought him to the attention of
John Hammond, a talent scout at Columbia Records. In May 1972, Springsteen auditioned for
Hammond.[37]

In October 1972, Springsteen formed a new band for the recording of his debut album,
Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. The band eventually became known as the E Street Band,
although the name was not used until September 1974.[38][39] Springsteen acquired the
nickname "the Boss" during this period, since he took on the task of collecting his band's nightly
pay and distributing it among his bandmates.[40] The nickname also reportedly sprang from
games of Monopoly, which Springsteen played with other Jersey Shore musicians.[41]

1972–1974: Initial struggle

Springsteen was signed to Columbia Records in 1972 by John Hammond, who had signed Bob
Dylan to the same label a decade earlier. His debut album, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.,
was released in January 1973, establishing him as a critical favorite.[42]

Because of Springsteen's lyrical poeticism and folk rock-rooted music exemplified on tracks like
"Blinded by the Light" and "For You", and his connection with Hammond and Columbia
Records, critics initially compared Springsteen to Bob Dylan. "He sings with a freshness and
urgency I haven't heard since I was rocked by 'Like a Rolling Stone'", Crawdaddy magazine
editor Peter Knobler wrote in a March 1973 profile of Springsteen's that included photographs
taken by Ed Gallucci.[43][44] Crawdaddy was an early champion of Springsteen; Knobler
profiled him in the magazine three times, in 1973, 1975, and 1978.[45] In June 1976, Springsteen
and the E Street Band acknowledged the magazine's support by giving a private performance at
the magazine's 10th Anniversary Party in New York City.[46]

Springsteen's second album, The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle, was released in
November 1973, eleven months after Greetings from Asbury Park. Like Springsteen's inaugural
album, The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle was met with critical acclaim but limited
commercial success. Springsteen's songs became grander in form and scope with the E Street
Band providing a less folksy, more rhythm and blues vibe, and lyrics that romanticized teenage
street life. "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)" and "Incident on 57th Street" became fan
favorites, while "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" continues to rank among Springsteen's most
beloved concert numbers. "Rosalita" is the ninth-most played song in Springsteen's concert
catalog; as of June 2020, he has played it live 809 times.[47]

In February 1974, the Stone Pony, a music venue and bar, opened on Ocean Avenue in Asbury
Park, and Springsteen played there regularly. Several years later, in the early 1980s, prior to the
start of the Born in the U.S.A. Tour in June 1984, Springsteen also met his second and current
wife Patti Scialfa at the Stone Pony during her performance there. A regular venue for
Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Southside Johnny, and other acts from the area, the Stone Pony has
since been described as "an integral part of music history for decades."[48]

After seeing Springsteen's performance at the Harvard Square Theater in 1974, music critic Jon
Landau wrote that he "saw rock and roll future, and its name is Bruce Springsteen."[49]
Springsteen met Landau in Boston a month prior and the two became close friends;[50][51]
Landau subsequently became the co-producer of Springsteen's next album, Born to Run, in
February 1975.[52][53] As Springsteen's last-ditch effort at a commercially viable record,
Springsteen became bogged down in the recording process while striving for a "Wall of Sound"
production.[54] When his manager, Mike Appel, orchestrated the release of an early mix of
"Born to Run" to nearly a dozen radio stations, anticipation built toward the album's release.[55]

The album took over 14 months to record, with six months spent recording "Born to Run" alone.
[56] E Street Band members David Sancious and Ernest Carter departed after "Born to Run" was

completed, and were replaced by Roy Bittan and Max Weinberg on piano and drums,
respectively.[57][58] Springsteen battled with anger and frustration throughout the sessions,
saying he heard "sounds in [his] head" that he could not explain to the others in the studio.[59]
He also dealt with two producers who had opposing views.[60] During the recording of "Tenth
Avenue Freeze-Out", Steven Van Zandt conceived the horn parts for the horn players on the
spot in the studio after Springsteen and Bittan had failed to write proper ones by the time the
players arrived to record. He joined the E Street Band shortly thereafter.[61][62][63] Mixing for
Born to Run lasted until July 20, 1975, just before a concert tour began.[64][65]

Born to Run was mastered while the band was on the road. Springsteen was furious at the initial
acetate, throwing it into the swimming pool of the hotel he was staying at. He contemplated

scrapping the entire project and re-recording it live before he was stopped by Landau.[64][66]
Springsteen was sent multiple mixes as he was on the road and rejected all of them until August
when he approved the final one.[67][68]

1975–1983: Born to Run and breakthrough success

Born to Run was released in August 1975. It proved to be a breakthrough album[69][70][71] that
catapulted Springsteen to worldwide fame.[72] The album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Top
LPs & Tape chart, eventually going seven times platinum in the US.[73] The album's two singles,
"Born to Run" and "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" reached No. 23 and 83, respectively, on the
Billboard Hot 100.[74][75] According to author Louis Masur, the album's success was tied to the
fears of growing old held by a generation of late teenagers.[76]

In October 1975, Springsteen appeared on the covers of both Newsweek and Time in the same
week, becoming the first artist to do so.[77] The magazines' cover stories resulted in a media
backlash,[78] as critics began wondering if Springsteen was for real or the product of record
company promotion.[79][80] Springsteen was hurt by the backlash[81] and disliked his newfound
attention. When the E Street Band arrived in London for their first concerts outside North
America,[82] Springsteen personally tore down promotional posters in the lobby of the
Hammersmith Odeon.[83]

A legal battle with Appel kept Springsteen out of the studio for
nearly a year, during which time he kept the E Street Band
together through extensive touring across the U.S. and
continued writing new material.[84][85] Reaching a settlement
with Appel in May 1977,[84] Springsteen returned to the studio,
and the subsequent nine-month recording sessions with the E
Street Band produced Darkness on the Edge of Town.[86] The
record stripped the "Wall of Sound" production of Born to
Run[87][88] for a rawer hard rock sound.[84][89] Its lyrics focus
on ill-fortuned people who fight back against overwhelming
odds.[84][90]

Released in June 1978,[91] Darkness on the Edge of Town sold

fewer copies than its predecessor,[92] but remained on the
Billboard chart for 167 weeks, selling three million copies in the Springsteen and the E Street
Band in February 1977
U.S.[84][93] Its three singles—"Prove It All Night", "Badlands",
and "The Promised Land"—performed modestly.[93] The
supporting Darkness Tour was Springsteen's largest up to that point and featured shows that
lasted upwards of three hours in length.[94][95] The staff of Ultimate Classic Rock said the tour
solidified Springsteen and the E Street Band as "one of the most exciting live acts in rock 'n'
roll".[96]

By the late 1970s, Springsteen earned a reputation as a songwriter whose material could provide
hits for other bands. Manfred Mann's Earth Band had achieved a U.S. No. 1 pop hit with a
heavily rearranged version of Greetings' "Blinded by the Light" in early 1977. Patti Smith
reached No. 13 with her version of Springsteen's unreleased "Because the Night" with revised
lyrics by Smith in 1978. The Pointer Sisters hit No. 2 in 1979 with Springsteen's then unreleased
"Fire".[97] Between 1976 and 1978, Springsteen provided four compositions to Southside Johnny

and the Asbury Jukes, including "The Fever" and

"Hearts of Stone", and collaborated on four more with
Steven Van Zandt, producer of their first three albums.
[98]

In September 1979, Springsteen and the E Street Band

joined the Musicians United for Safe Energy anti-
nuclear power collective at Madison Square Garden for
two nights, playing an abbreviated set while premiering
two songs from his upcoming album. The subsequent
Springsteen performing in New Haven, No Nukes live album, as well as the following summer's
Connecticut, c. 1977–1978 No Nukes documentary film, represented the first
official recordings and footage of Springsteen's fabled
live act and Springsteen's first tentative dip into political involvement.[99]

The recording sessions for Springsteen's fifth album, The River, lasted 18 months.[100] The 20-
track double album[101] was an attempt at capturing the energy and feel of the E Street Band
playing live on stage[102] and featured a mix of party songs and introspective ballads.[103]
Released in October 1980, The River became Springsteen's biggest and fastest-selling album
yet, topping the U.S. Billboard chart.[104] The single "Hungry Heart" became his first top ten
single as a performer, reaching number five,[104] while "Fade Away" reached No. 20.[105]

Several songs on The River foreshadowed the direction of

Springsteen's next record,[106] the minimalist, folk-inspired solo
effort Nebraska, released in September 1982.[107] Springsteen
recorded the songs on the album as demo recordings at his home
in Colts Neck, New Jersey, intending to re-record them with the
E Street Band, but after poor test sessions he decided to release
the recordings as is.[108][109] The album chronicled dark
hardships felt by everyday blue-collar workers, as well as bleak
tales of criminals, cops, and gang wars.[107][110] Nebraska sold
minimally compared to Springsteen's three previous albums, but
reached No. 3 on the Billboard chart.[111] Nevertheless, it
surprised critics, who praised it as a brave artistic statement.[111]

1984–1986: Born in the U.S.A. and cultural
phenomenon
In 1984, Springsteen released Born in the U.S.A., which sold 30 million worldwide, and became
one of the best-selling albums of all time,[112] with seven singles hitting the top ten. The title
track was a bitter commentary on the treatment of Vietnam veterans, some of whom were
Springsteen's friends. The lyrics in the verses were entirely unambiguous when listened to, but
the anthemic music and the title of the song made it hard for many, from politicians to the
common person, to get the lyrics—except those in the chorus, which could be read many ways.
[113] The song made a huge political impact, as he was advocating for the rights of the common

working-class man.[114]

The song was widely misinterpreted as patriotic, and in connection with the 1984 presidential

campaign became the subject of considerable folklore.

In 1984, conservative columnist George Will attended a
Springsteen concert and then wrote a column praising
Springsteen's work ethic. Six days after the column's
publication, then President Ronald Reagan, in a
campaign rally in Hammonton, New Jersey, made brief
mention of the song, saying, "America's future rests in a
thousand dreams inside your hearts. It rests in the
Springsteen and E Street Band member
message of hope in the songs of a man so many young
Clarence Clemons performing in Americans admire—New Jersey's own, Bruce
Madison, Wisconsin Springsteen." Two nights later, at a concert in
Pittsburgh, Springsteen told the crowd, "Well, the
president was mentioning my name in his speech the
other day and I kind of got to wondering what his favorite album of mine must've been, you
know? I don't think it was the Nebraska album. I don't think he's been listening to this one." He
then began playing "Johnny 99", with its allusions to closing factories and criminals.[115]

"Dancing in the Dark" was the biggest of seven hit singles from Born in the U.S.A., peaking at
No. 2 on the Billboard singles chart. The video for the song showed a young Courteney Cox
dancing on stage with Springsteen, which helped start the actress's career. The song "Cover Me"
was written by Springsteen for Donna Summer, but his record company persuaded him to keep
it for the new album. A big fan of Summer's work, Springsteen wrote another song for her,
"Protection". Videos for Born in the U.S.A. were directed by Brian De Palma and John Sayles.
Springsteen played on the "We Are the World" song and album in 1985. His live cover of the
Jimmy Cliff song "Trapped" from that album received moderate airplay on US Top 40 stations
as well as reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Top Rock Tracks chart.[116]

The Born in the U.S.A. period represented the height of Springsteen's visibility in popular
culture and the broadest audience he would ever reach (aided by the release of Arthur Baker's
dance mixes of three of the singles). From June 15 to August 10, 1985, all seven of his albums
appeared on the UK Albums Chart: the first time an artist had charted their entire back
catalogue simultaneously.[117]

Live/1975–85, a five-record box set (also on three cassettes or three CDs), was released near the
end of 1986 and became the first box set to debut at No. 1 on the U.S. album charts. It is one of
the most commercially successful live albums of all time, ultimately selling 13 million units in
the U.S. During the 1980s, several Springsteen fanzines were launched, including Backstreets
magazine.[118]

1987–1991: Tunnel of Love and activism

Springsteen released the much more sedate and contemplative Tunnel of Love in October 1987.
The album is a mature reflection on the many faces of love found, lost and squandered, and the
full sound of the E Street Band is included only selectively.[119] Although it sold less than Born
in the U.S.A., it was a commercial success, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard 200.[119][120]

On July 19, 1988, Springsteen's concert in East Germany attracted 300,000 spectators.
Journalist Erik Kirschbaum called the concert "the most important rock concert ever,
anywhere" in his 2013 book Rocking the Wall. Bruce Springsteen: The Berlin Concert That

Changed the World. The concert had been conceived by the

Socialist Unity Party's youth wing in an attempt to placate the
youth of East Germany, who were hungry for more freedom and
the popular music of the West. However, it is Kirschbaum's
opinion that the success of the concert catalyzed opposition to the
regime in East Germany, and helped contribute to the fall of the
Berlin Wall the following year.[121]

Later in 1988, Springsteen headlined the worldwide Human

Rights Now! tour for Amnesty International. In October 1989, he
dissolved the E Street Band.[122][123]

1992–1998: Academy award, Greatest Hits, and

soundtracks Springsteen performing on
In 1992, after risking fan accusations of "going Hollywood" by the Tunnel of Love Express
moving to Los Angeles and working with session musicians, Tour at the Radrennbahn
Springsteen released two albums at once: Human Touch and Weissensee in East Berlin in
July 1988
Lucky Town.[123]

An electric band appearance on the acoustic MTV Unplugged

television program (later released as In Concert/MTV Plugged) was poorly received and
cemented fan dissatisfaction.[124]

Springsteen won an Academy Award in 1994 for his song "Streets of Philadelphia", which
appeared on the soundtrack to the film Philadelphia. The video for the song shows
Springsteen's actual vocal performance, recorded using a hidden microphone, to a prerecorded
instrumental track. This technique was developed on the "Brilliant Disguise" video.[125]

In 1995, after temporarily re-organizing the E Street

Band for a few new songs recorded for his first Greatest
Hits album (a recording session that was chronicled in
the documentary Blood Brothers), and also one show at
Tramps in New York City,[126] he released his second
folk album, The Ghost of Tom Joad. The album was
inspired by John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath and
by Journey to Nowhere: The Saga of the New
Underclass, a book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author
U.S. President Bill Clinton with
Dale Maharidge and photographer Michael Williamson.
Springsteen in December 1997
The album was generally less well-received than the
thematically similar Nebraska due to the minimal
melody, twangy vocals, and political nature of most of the songs; however, some praised it for
giving a voice to immigrants and others who rarely have one in American culture. The lengthy,
worldwide, small-venue solo acoustic Ghost of Tom Joad Tour that followed presented many of
his older songs in drastically reshaped acoustic form, although Springsteen had to explicitly
remind his audiences to "shut the fuck up" and not to clap during the performances.[127]

Following that tour, Springsteen moved from California back to New Jersey with his family.[128]
In 1998, he released the sprawling, four-disc box set of outtakes, Tracks. Later, he would

acknowledge that the 1990s were musically a "lost period" for him: "I didn't do a lot of work.
Some people would say I didn't do my best work."[129]

1999–2007: The Rising, Devils & Dust, and other releases

Springsteen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999 by Bono (the lead singer
of U2), a favor he returned in 2005.[130]

In 1999, Springsteen and the E Street Band reunited and began their extensive Reunion Tour,
which lasted over a year. Highlights included a record sold-out, 15-show run at Continental
Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey and a ten-night, sold-out engagement at New
York City's Madison Square Garden. A new song played at these shows, "American Skin (41
Shots)" (about the police shooting of Amadou Diallo), proved controversial.[131]

In 2002, Springsteen released his first studio effort with

the full band in 18 years, The Rising, produced by
Brendan O'Brien. The album, mostly a reflection on the
September 11 attacks, was a critical and popular success.
The title track gained airplay in several radio formats,
and the record became Springsteen's best-selling album
of new material in 15 years. Kicked off by an early-
morning Asbury Park appearance on The Today Show,
The Rising Tour commenced; the band barnstormed

nights at Giants Stadium in New Jersey.[132] in July 2003

The Rising won the Grammy for Best Rock Album and
was nominated for Album of the Year at the 45th Annual Grammy Awards in 2003. In addition,
"The Rising" won the Grammy for Best Rock Song and for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance,
and nominated for Song of the Year.[133] At the ceremony, Springsteen performed the Clash's
"London Calling" with Elvis Costello, Dave Grohl, and E Street Band member Steven Van Zandt
and No Doubt's bassist, Tony Kanal, in tribute to Joe Strummer.[134] In 2004, Springsteen and
the E Street Band participated in the Vote for Change tour, with John Mellencamp, John
Fogerty, the Dixie Chicks, Pearl Jam, R.E.M., Bright Eyes, the Dave Matthews Band, Jackson
Browne, and other musicians.[135]

The solo record Devils & Dust was released in April 2005. It is a low-key, mostly acoustic album,
in the same vein as Nebraska and The Ghost of Tom Joad. Some of the material was written
almost 10 years earlier, during or shortly after the Ghost of Tom Joad Tour; a few of the songs
had been performed at that time but unreleased.[136] The title track concerns an ordinary
soldier's feelings and fears during the Iraq War. The album topped the charts in ten countries.
Springsteen began the solo Devils & Dust Tour at the same time as the album's release, playing
both small and large venues. Attendance was disappointing in a few regions, and except in
Europe tickets were easier to get than in the past.[137]

In April 2006, Springsteen released We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions, an American
roots music project focused around a big folk sound treatment of 15 songs popularized by the
radical musical activism of Pete Seeger. A tour began the same month, with the 18-strong

Springsteen's next album, Magic, was released in October 2007. Recorded with the E Street
Band, it had 10 new Springsteen songs plus "Long Walk Home", performed once with the
Sessions band, and a hidden track (the first included on a Springsteen studio release), "Terry's
Song", a tribute to Springsteen's long-time assistant Terry Magovern, who died in July 2007.
[143] Magic debuted at No. 1 in the U.S.,[144] Ireland and the UK.[145] Springsteen supported the

album on the Magic Tour, his first tour with the E Street Band since 2003.[146] It was the final
tour for longtime E Street member Danny Federici, who died in 2008.[147]

by over 400,000 people.[151] He performed "The Rising" with an all-female choir. Later he
performed Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" with Pete Seeger.

On January 11, 2009, Springsteen won the Golden Globe Award for Best Song for "The
Wrestler", from the Darren Aronofsky film by the same name.[152] After receiving a heartfelt
letter from lead actor Mickey Rourke, Springsteen supplied the song for the film for free.[153]

Springsteen performed at the halftime show at Super Bowl XLIII on February 1, 2009,[154]
agreeing to perform after having declined on prior occasions.[155] A few days before the game,
Springsteen gave a rare press conference at which he promised a "twelve-minute party".[156][157]
It has been reported that this press conference was Springsteen's first press conference in more
than 25 years.[158] His 12-minute 45-second set, with the E Street Band and the Miami Horns,
included abbreviated renditions of "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out", "Born to Run", "Working on a
Dream", and "Glory Days", the latter complete with football references in place of the original
baseball-themed lyrics. The set of appearances and promotional activities led Springsteen to
say, "This has probably been the busiest month of my life."[159]

Working on a Dream, dedicated to Federici, was

released in late January 2009.[156] The supporting
Working on a Dream Tour ran from April to November
2009. The band performed five final shows at Giants
Stadium, opening with a new song highlighting the
historic stadium, and Springsteen's Jersey roots, named
"Wrecking Ball".[160]

December 6, 2009. President Obama gave a speech in
which he asserted that Springsteen had incorporated Fireworks go off at the conclusion of the
"E! Street! Band!" exhortation during the

not just rock-and-roll concerts, but "communions". The
event included musical tributes from Melissa Etheridge,
Ben Harper, John Mellencamp, Jennifer Nettles, Sting, and Eddie Vedder.[161]

The 2000s ended with Springsteen named one of eight Artists of the Decade by Rolling Stone
magazine[162] and with Springsteen's tours ranking him fourth among artists in total concert
grosses for the decade.[163]

Clarence Clemons, the E Street Band's saxophonist and founding member, died on June 18,
2011, of complications from a stroke.[164]

In 2012, Springsteen campaigned for President Barack Obama's re-election in the 2012
presidential election, appearing and performing at Obama rallies in Ohio, Pittsburgh, Iowa,

acoustic set that included a newly written song titled "Forward".[168][169][170]

At year's end, the Wrecking Ball Tour was named Top

Draw by the Billboard Touring Awards for having the
highest attendance of any tour that year. Financially,
the tour grossed second to the one by Roger Waters.[171]

money maker of 2012, with $33.44 million.[172] The
Wrecking Ball album, along with the single "We Take
Care of Our Own", was nominated for three Grammy
Awards, including Best Rock Performance and Best

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.[241] The documentary made its debut at the Toronto
International Film Festival in September 2024.[242] In July 2024, Forbes reported that
Springsteen had a net worth of more than $1.1 billion, thanks to his tours and the sale of his

the existence of the long-rumored Electric Nebraska album, but a month after the interview
corrected himself and confirmed that songs from those sessions existed. Springsteen discussed
the future of the E Street Band, saying he wants to "play more often with less dates" and that
"it’s very exciting to play with the E Street Band now, and I’m looking forward to doing a good
deal of it in the future. But that future is finite." He said he would also like to do another solo
tour similar to his Broadway shows. Springsteen said there will never be a farewell tour and that
he hopes to still be onstage in his nineties.[249]

Springsteen and the E Street Band's 2023-2025 Tour was the highest grossing tour of their
career grossing close to $730 million world-wide and placing it as one of the top ten highest
grossing tours ever. It more than doubled their previous all-time gross from their 2012-2013

SiriusXM’s E Street Radio channel.[251] oN

Artistry and legacy

Widely regarded as one of the greatest
songwriters of all time,[253] Springsteen I spent most of my life as a musician
has been called a "rock 'n' roll poet" who measuring the distance between the American
"[radiates] working-class authenticity". Dream and American reality.
[254] He is a pioneer of heartland rock, a

genre combining mainstream rock music —Springsteen at a rally for presidential candidate
Barack Obama on November 2, 2008[252]
with working class thematic concerns and
socially conscious lyrics. According to

Bruce Springsteen - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Springsteen

Rolling Stone, his work "epitomizes rock's deepest values: desire, the need for freedom and the
search to find yourself."[255] Often described as cinematic in their scope, Springsteen's lyrics
frequently explore highly personal themes such as individual commitment, dissatisfaction and
dismay with life in a context of everyday situations.[256] Springsteen's themes include social and
political commentary[257][258] and are rooted in the struggles faced by his own family of origin.
[259]

A shift in Springsteen's lyrical approach began with the album Darkness on the Edge of Town,
[260] in which he focused on the emotional struggles of working class life,[261][262] alongside

more typical rock and roll themes. Reviewing Born in the U.S.A., Rolling Stone critic Debby
Miller noted that "Springsteen ignored the British Invasion and embraced instead the legacy of
Phil Spector's releases, the sort of soul that was coming from Atlantic Records, and especially
the garage bands that had anomalous radio hits. He's always chased the utopian feeling of that
music".[263]

Jon Pareles included Springsteen among the

"pantheon" of artists of the album era.[264] "Springsteen
is the quintessential album-era rock star," writes Ann
Powers, who argues that while other acts like the
Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Marvin Gaye probably
made better individual works, "none [had] used the
long-player form itself more powerfully over the arc of a
career, not only to establish a world through song, but
to inhabit an enduring persona". He used it to lyricize
"America's slide from industrial-era swagger into
service-economy anomie". In her mind, Springsteen
Springsteen performing in front of
needed the "track-by-track architecture of albums to
drummer Max Weinberg on the Magic
flesh out characters, relate each to the other, extend Tour at Veterans Memorial Arena in
metaphors and build a palpable, detail-strewn Jacksonville, Florida in August 2008
landscape through which they could travel". He
simultaneously grew musically "both with his stalwart E
Street Band (a metaphor itself for the family connections and community spirit his songs
celebrate or lament) and in more minimalist projects."[265]

Springsteen and the E Street Band have frequently appeared in lists ranking the best live acts of
all time.[266][267][268] In Forbes, Steve Baltin wrote: "There has never been a live experience in
music that captures the feeling of liberation and optimism rock and roll is supposed to bring you
more than a Springsteen and the E Street Band show."[266] In January 2023, Rolling Stone
named Springsteen the 77th-greatest singer of all time.[269] In April 2023, the governor of New
Jersey issued a proclamation announcing September 23 "Bruce Springsteen Day".[270]

Springsteen's songs have been the subject of various scholarly articles analyzing his music and
lyrics.[271] The Bruce Springsteen Special Collection houses academic journals and papers on
Springsteen published since the 1980s. Springsteen himself said in 2001: "The Collection has
almost 1,000 books and magazines on myself and the band–more stuff than every place except
my mother's basement!"[272]

Asbury Park, N.J. (379),[279] and Tunnel of Love (475).[280] In 2004, on their 500 Greatest
Songs of All Time list, Rolling Stone included "Born to Run" (21), "Thunder Road" (86),[281] and
"Born in the U.S.A." (275).[282] In 2010, Rolling Stone ranked Springsteen 23rd on its list of the
"100 Greatest Artists of All Time", describing him as "the embodiment of rock and roll".[255]

Personal life

Relationships
Springsteen briefly dated artist Karon Bihari in the
1970s, who claimed the Darkness on the Edge of Town
song "Candy's Room" was about her.[283] He also had
relationships with photographer Lynn Goldsmith,
model Karen Darvin and, for four years in the 1980s,
actress Joyce Hyser.[284]

In the early 1980s, he met Patti Scialfa at the Stone Springsteen's wife Patti Scialfa, a
Pony the evening she was performing alongside his member of the E Street Band, during a
friend Bobby Bandiera, with whom she wrote "At Least 2017 performance of Springsteen on
We Got Shoes" for Southside Johnny. Springsteen liked Broadway
her voice and after the performance he introduced
himself to her. They soon started spending time
together and became friends.[285]

Early in 1984, Springsteen asked Scialfa to join the E Street Band for the Born in the U.S.A.
Tour, which began in June 1984. According to the book Bruce by Peter Ames Carlin, they
seemed about to become a couple through the first leg of the tour,[286] but Springsteen was
introduced to actress Julianne Phillips and married her shortly after midnight on May 13, 1985,
at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in Lake Oswego, Oregon.[287][288][289] Opposites in
background, the two had an 11-year age difference and Springsteen's traveling took its toll on
their relationship. Many of the songs on Tunnel of Love described the unhappiness he felt in his
relationship with Phillips.[290]

The Tunnel of Love Express Tour began in February 1988 and Springsteen convinced Scialfa to
postpone her own solo record and join the tour.[291] Scialfa moved in with Springsteen shortly
after he separated from Phillips.[292] On August 30, 1988, citing irreconcilable differences,
Phillips filed for divorce in Los Angeles,[293] and a settlement was reached in December and
finalized on March 1, 1989.[294][295] They had no children.

Springsteen received press criticism for the apparent haste in which he and Scialfa started their
relationship. In a 1995 interview with The Advocate, he told Judy Wieder about the negative
publicity the couple subsequently received: "It's a strange society that assumes it has the right to
tell people whom they should love and whom they shouldn't. But the truth is, I basically ignored
the entire thing as much as I could. I said, 'Well, all I know is, this feels real, and maybe I have
got a mess going here in some fashion, but that's life.'"[296] Years later, he reflected, "'I didn't
protect Juli... some sort of public announcement would have been fair, but I felt overly

Bruce Springsteen - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Springsteen

concerned about my own privacy. I handled it badly, and I still feel badly about it. It was cruel
for people to find out the way they did.'"[297]

Springsteen and Scialfa lived in New Jersey before moving to Los Angeles, where they decided
to start a family. On July 25, 1990, Scialfa gave birth to the couple's first child, Evan James
Springsteen.[298][299] On June 8, 1991, Springsteen and Scialfa married at their Los Angeles
home in a private ceremony, only attended by family and close friends. Their second child,
Jessica Rae Springsteen, was born on December 30, 1991.[298][299] Their third child, Samuel
Ryan Springsteen, was born on January 5, 1994.[299][300] In a 1995 interview, Springsteen said,
"I went through a divorce, and it was really difficult and painful and I was very frightened about
getting married again. So part of me said, 'Hey, what does it matter?' But it does matter. It's very
different than just living together. First of all, stepping up publicly—which is what you do: You
get your license, you do all the social rituals—is a part of your place in society and in some way
part of society's acceptance of you ... Patti and I both found that it did mean something."[296]

When their children reached school age in the 1990s, Springsteen and Scialfa moved back to
New Jersey to raise them away from paparazzi. The family owns and lives on a horse farm in
Colts Neck Township and has a home in Rumson; they also own homes in Los Angeles and
Wellington, Florida.[301] Evan graduated from Boston College; he writes and performs his own
songs and won the 2012 Singer/Songwriter Competition held during Boston College's Arts
Festival.[302] Jessica graduated from Duke University and is a nationally ranked champion
equestrian.[303] She made her show-jumping debut with Team USA in August 2014.[304] Sam is
a firefighter in Jersey City.[305] On July 17, 2022, Springsteen and Scialfa became grandparents
when their son Sam and his fiancée had a daughter.[306]

Health
Springsteen has avoided hard drugs his entire life.[307] Van Zandt said in 2012, "[Springsteen is]
the only guy I know—I think the only guy I know at all—who never did drugs."[307] He has
spoken about his struggles with depression, which he began to address in his 30s after years of
denial.[308] During this time, he also became frustrated with being an underweight "fast food
junkie" who had to be helped off the stage after a show due to his poor health. He later began
following a mostly vegetarian diet while running up to six miles on a treadmill and lifting
weights three times a week.[307] A 2019 Consequence article celebrating his 70th birthday
revealed that he still maintains this routine and diet.[309] In September 2023, Springsteen
announced the postponement of all his concerts in the US beginning in that month and through
December, due to his ongoing treatment for peptic ulcer disease.[310]

Religion
While rejecting religion in his earlier years, Springsteen stated in his 2016 autobiography Born
to Run, "I have a personal relationship with Jesus. I believe in his power to save, love [...] but
not to damn." In terms of his lapsed Catholicism, he said that he "came to ruefully and
bemusedly understand that once you're a Catholic you're always a Catholic ... I don't participate
in my religion but I know somewhere... deep inside... I'm still on the team."[311]

In a 2017 interview with Tom Hanks, Springsteen admitted that he evaded taxes early in his
career since the government had not paid attention to his taxes prior to his 1975 appearance on
the cover of Time.[312] Most of his income over the next several years went towards paying back
his taxes; by his 30th birthday, he had only $20,000, despite multiple bestselling records and
tours.[312] Forbes "conservatively" estimated Springsteen's net worth at US$1.1 billion in 2024.
[313]

Hobbies
Springsteen is a model railroader. He collects and runs HO scale model trains.[314]

Political views and activism

Springsteen announced his endorsement of Barack
Obama's 2008 presidential campaign in April 2008.
[148] He appeared at several rallies in support of Obama

throughout that year.[149] At one rally in Ohio,

Springsteen discussed the importance of "truth,
transparency and integrity in government, the right of
every American to have a job, a living wage, to be
educated in a decent school, and a life filled with the
dignity of work, the promise and the sanctity of home".
[315] Despite saying that he would sit out the 2012 Springsteen with U.S. President Joe
Biden in the East Room at the White
presidential election, Springsteen campaigned for House in March 2023
Obama's re-election in Ohio, Iowa, Virginia, Pittsburgh,
and Wisconsin.[168][169][170]

Springsteen supports LGBTQ rights and gay marriage. In 2009, he posted the following
statement on his website: "I've long believed in and have always spoken out for the rights of
same sex couples and fully agree with Governor Corzine when he writes that 'The marriage-
equality issue should be recognized for what it truly is—a civil rights issue that must be
approved to assure that every citizen is treated equally under the law.' "[316] In 2012, he lent his
support to the Four 2012, an ad campaign for gay marriage. Springsteen noted in the ad, "I
couldn't agree more with that statement and urge those who support equal treatment for our
gay and lesbian brothers and sisters to let their voices be heard now."[317] In April 2016,
Springsteen cancelled a show in Greensboro, North Carolina, days before it was to take place to
protest the state's newly passed Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act, also referred to as the
"bathroom law", which dictates which restrooms transgender people are permitted to use and
prevents LGBTQ citizens from suing over human rights violations in the workplace. Springsteen
released a statement on his website. The Human Rights Campaign celebrated Springsteen's
statement, and he has received praise and gratitude from the LGBTQ community.[318]

During a 2017 show in Perth, Australia, Springsteen made a statement celebrating the post-
inauguration Women's March against the incoming Trump administration in cities worldwide:
"We're a long way from home, and our hearts and spirits are with the hundreds of thousands of
women and men that marched yesterday in every city in America, and in Melbourne ... [They]
rallied against hate and division and in support of tolerance, inclusion, reproductive rights, civil

rights, racial justice, LGBTQ rights, the environment, wage equality, gender equality,
healthcare, and immigrant rights. We stand with you. We are the new American resistance."[319]
[320][321]

Springsteen is a staunch critic of Donald Trump, whom he calls the "conman from Queens".[322]
During Trump's first term as president of the United States in October 2019, Springsteen said
Trump "doesn't have a grasp of the deep meaning of what it means to be an American",[323] and
in June 2020 called him a "threat to our democracy".[324] Springsteen's song "The Rising" was
featured prominently in the 2020 Democratic National Convention in support of Joe Biden,
accompanied with a new video and campaign slogan, #TheRising.[325] On October 13, 2020,
author Don Winslow released a video critical of Trump prior to his campaign event in
Pennsylvania. The video features Springsteen's song "Streets of Philadelphia".[326] A few days
prior to the 2020 United States presidential election, Springsteen provided narration for a
campaign ad that spotlights Biden's upbringing in Scranton, Pennsylvania with "My
Hometown" playing throughout the ad.[327] Biden used "We Take Care of Our Own" as one of
his theme songs, as Obama had before him in 2012.[328] On October 3, 2024, Springsteen
endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 United States presidential election,[329] and
gave a speech at one of her campaign rallies on October 24.[330]

During a show in Manchester, England on May 14, 2025, Springsteen spoke out against Trump
and called his administration "corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous". Two days later, Trump
responded on Truth Social by calling Springsteen "highly overrated" and "dumb as a rock".[331]
Tino Gagliardi, the president of the American Federation of Musicians defended Springsteen,
saying, "Musicians have the right to freedom of expression, and we stand in solidarity with all
our members."[332] On May 19, Trump called for a major investigation into Springsteen,
Beyoncé, Oprah, and other celebrities for their endorsement of Harris. He claims that Harris
illegally paid them to support her 2024 campaign for president.[333] Musicians such as Neil
Young and Eddie Vedder spoke out in defense of Springsteen saying his freedom of speech
rights were being violated.[334] Springsteen included recordings of his Manchester remarks as
part of a live EP release, Land of Hope and Dreams.[335]

Achievements and awards

Springsteen has sold more than 140 million records
worldwide and more than 71 million records in the
United States, making him one of the world's best-
selling artists.[336][337] He has earned numerous awards
for his work, including 20 Grammy Awards,[338] two
Golden Globes,[339] an Academy Award,[340] and a
Special Tony Award (for Springsteen on Broadway).
[341] Springsteen was inducted into both the

Songwriters Hall of Fame[342] and the Rock and Roll

Hall of Fame[343] in 1999, received the Kennedy Center
Springsteen receiving the Presidential
Honors in 2009,[344] was named MusiCares person of Medal of Freedom at the White House
the year in 2013,[345] and was awarded the Presidential from President Barack Obama in 2016
Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2016.

In May 2021, Springsteen became the eighth recipient of the Woody Guthrie Prize, a prize that
honors an artist who speaks out for social justice and carries on the spirit of the folk singer.[347]
In March 2023, Springsteen was awarded the 2021 National Medal of Arts from President Joe
Biden at the White House. Springsteen was supposed to receive the award in 2021 but the
COVID-19 pandemic postponed the ceremonies.[348]

In March 2024, it was announced that Springsteen would be named an Academy Fellow by The
Ivors Academy in May 2024. On May 23, 2024, Springsteen became the first international
songwriter that the Academy has inducted into the Fellowship in its 80-year history.[349]
