Springsteen announces autobiography
As one of America's most prolific songwriters, Bruce Springsteen has always been content to let the music do the talking—until now. 'The Boss' will release an autobiography, titled “Born to Run”, on September 27, according to a press release.
Springsteen began writing his memoirs after the 2009 Super Bowl. “Writing about yourself is a funny business,” Springsteen said. “But in a project like this, the writer has made one promise, to show the reader his mind. In these pages, I've tried to do this.”
In the book, the 66-year old musician describes growing up in Freehold, New Jersey amid “poetry, danger, and darkness,” and will take the reader on a journey through his ascension from a bar band musician in Asbury Park to the formation and “rise of the E Street Band.” Additionally, he will chronicle the struggles that inspired his best work, and provide more insight into the song, Born to Run, which he had previously referenced as his “shot at the title.”
The work will be published in hardcover, ebook, and audio editions by Simon & Schuster in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and India.
