Bruce Springsteen to Release Autobiography, Born to Run

On September 27, Bruce Springsteen will release his autobiography, Born to Run, on Simon & Schuster. The book has been in the works since his 2009 Super Bowl halftime show with the E Street Band, according to a post on his website. Check out the cover below.

The post reads:

In Born to Run, Springsteen describes growing up in Freehold, New Jersey amid the “poetry, danger, and darkness” that fueled his imagination. He vividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, his early days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band. With disarming candor, he also tells for the first time the story of the personal struggles that inspired his best work, and shows us why the song “Born to Run” reveals more than we previously realized.

“Writing about yourself is a funny business,” Bruce notes in his book. “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.”

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are currently on tour behind Springsteen’s The Ties That Bind: The River Collection box set. The group recently released a free download of their January 19 show in Chicago.
