For nearly fifty years, Bruce Springsteen has brought rock from the heart of the anthem to the American mainstream.

Nicknamed “The Boss” by his many adoring fans, his songs often focus on the plight and prospects of the American working class.

Springsteen is one of the best-selling artists in music history, amassing nearly 150 million record sales worldwide with albums such as Born to Run., Nebraska, Darkness at the edge of town, and Born in the United States.

Throughout his career, Springsteen has won a total of 20 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, two Golden Globes, a Special Tony Award (for his ‘Springsteen on Broadway‘ concert residency), and was inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999 by his friend Bono.

He is widely regarded as one of the greatest artists of all time.

After seeing The Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan Show at the age of 15, Bruce bought his first guitar and joined several local rock groups in New York City.

Called up for conscription at the age of 19, he failed his physical exam (having been concussed in a motorcycle accident two years earlier) and was therefore not sent to fight in the Vietnam War.

He then began to shape his sonic and lyrical themes, forming the E Street Band in 1972, but enjoyed only moderate success until the release of Born to run in 1975.

– ‘Born in the United States’

Scialfa was not Bruce’s first wife, however. He was married to model Julianne Phillips from 1985 to 1989, but by the time they divorced Springsteen had already entered into a relationship with Scialfa which drew media criticism.

Bruce Springsteen’s net worth is estimated at $ 500 million.

Is there anything else we should know about Bruce Springsteen?

Bruce Springsteen would have received his nickname “The Boss” when he was playing in the band Earth in the late 1960s, because he collected the band’s fees and distributed them among them afterwards.

Courtney Cox’s very first screen appearance came in Springsteen’s video for “Dancing in the Dark” as the girl he pulls on stage to dance with him.

He has a planet named after him – called (23990) Springsteen – after observers were listening to his music when they discovered it.

‘The Boss’ is known for its long sets, playing for around three hours at each show. Her longest show to date ran for 4.5 hours. This is the price-performance ratio.
