Health Challenges and Tour Adjustments
Bruce Springsteen, the legendary “Boss” of rock, has faced several health challenges during his recent tours. In early 2023, positive COVID-19 tests among E Street Band members led to temporary absences, notably from violinist Soozie Tyrell and guitarist Steven Van Zandt. Later that year, Springsteen postponed multiple shows due to peptic ulcer disease, a condition that severely affected his singing ability. He expressed concerns about his vocal health, stating, “I literally couldn’t sing at all.” The tour resumed in March 2024, with Springsteen addressing rumors of retirement, emphatically stating, “We ain’t doing no farewell tour bullshit.”
Upcoming Biopic and Springsteen’s Involvement
Springsteen has been actively involved in the production of “Deliver Me from Nowhere,” a biopic focusing on the creation of his 1982 album “Nebraska.” Jeremy Allen White portrays Springsteen, with Springsteen himself visiting the set and expressing admiration for White’s performance. He praised White’s singing, noting he “sang very well and fit the role beautifully.” Springsteen has also been spotted wearing distinctive jackets during these visits, reflecting his iconic style. The film is slated for release in 2025.
Financial Clarifications
Addressing recent reports about his wealth, Springsteen clarified that he is not a billionaire. He attributed his substantial earnings to his successful music career, including the sale of his catalog to Sony for $500 million in 2021, but acknowledged significant personal expenditures. He stated, “He gastado demasiado dinero en cosas innecesarias.” Beyond his earnings, Springsteen is known for his philanthropic efforts, including donations to various charitable causes and support for political initiatives.
Looking Ahead
As Springsteen continues to navigate health, creative, and personal matters, fans remain supportive and eager for his upcoming projects. The biopic and tour developments are highly anticipated, reflecting his enduring influence in the music industry.
