Born to write: Springsteen memoir coming in September
The Boss has a book deal.
Simon & Schuster announced Thursday that Bruce Springsteen has spent the past several years working on a memoir, which will come out Sept. 27.
The title, of course, is “Born to Run.” Financial terms were not disclosed, although his deal is almost certainly worth millions.
According to Simon & Schuster, Springsteen will tell his story with “disarming candor” as he remembers his childhood in New Jersey, his rise to superstardom and “the personal struggles” that inspired such classics as “Born to Run” and Thunder Road.”
Springsteen said in a statement that he has “made one promise, to show the reader his mind.”
