Bruce Springsteen has revealed he is working on a new solo album and is planning to tour the UK with the E Street Band next year.
According to an interview with The Sunday Times, Springsteen said the album would be “a singer-songwriter album – more of a solo record”. It will be his first since High Hopes in 2014.
Springsteen also said he would be going “back to my day job” with a 2019 tour of the UK, details of which have yet to be announced.
The Boss is about to release a special double-length live album version of his Springsteen on Broadway show, where he performed five days a week at the Walter Kerr theatre in New York for more than a year.
Netflix will premiere a concert film version of the show on 16 December.
Springsteen recently opened up about mental health in an interview with Esquire, stating: “I’ve had to deal with a lot of it over the years.”
The 69-year-old said he was on a variety of medications that “keep [him] on an even keel” and added: “Otherwise I can swing rather dramatically and... just... the wheels come off a little bit.
“I have come close enough to [depression[ where I know I am not completely well myself,” he said.
