Bruce Springsteen covers Variety Magazine in a two-part special “The NY/New Jersey Issue”, in which the rocker opens up about marriage, heading to Broadway and his upcoming solo album.
As Springsteen, 68, gets ready to drop his long-awaited solo album, he explains what took him so long. “I’ve just been caught up in other projects,” he assures fans. “It’s kind of waiting for this moment. Good music doesn’t go away!”
Springsteen, who has been touring quite frequently with his E Street Band, will often have his wife Patti Scialfa join him and the band onstage. “We’ve kind of developed natural boundaries,” he told the mag. “Some places we have a more professional approach like if I walk into the studio while she’s working, I have certain boundaries where if she requests my opinion or asked for my help, I give it on a very professional level. When she comes onstage with the E Street Band she’s an E Street band member, and when we walk offstage we’re just husband and wife.”
Before his new solo album drops, the “Dancing In The Dark” singer is set to make his Broadway debut with “Springsteen On Broadway”, which he is excited for fans to see., “There’s a loose connection to the arc of the book (his recent autobiography, Born to Run), in that it sort of starts at the beginning and goes from there. I read a little bit from it, I tell some stories and play some music,” he says. “That’s basically the show.”
