Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen was born in New Jersey on 23 September 1949. In the early 1960s, he earned his nickname “The Boss” after taking up the task of collecting the payments for his band at the time and distributing them among the band members. His band, the famous E Street Band, has been following the Boss since 1972! Bruce Springsteen has since sold more than 135 million records worldwide, making him one of the world’s best-selling artists. He has also won numerous awards including 20 Grammy Awards, while also being inducted in Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1999. Springsteen’s music became for some, the vital voice of America, while his lyrics are mainly focused on the emotional struggles of working-class life. Moreover, he is often praised for his poetic lyrics and his lengthy, energetic and powerful stage performances together with E Street Band.
Following the release of his autobiography Born to Run in 2016, Bruce Springsteen has announced that he plans to perform on Broadway starting in fall 2017. His last performance is currently scheduled for December 15, 2018.
