Springsteen, 66, has been working on the autobiography,
called "Born to Run," for seven years, publishers Simon &
Schuster said on Thursday. It will be published worldwide on
Sept. 27.
“Writing about yourself is a funny business,” Springsteen writes
in the book, according to Thursday's announcement.
“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,” he added.
The book will recount Springsteen's drive to become a musician
and why the song “Born to Run” reveals more than fans previously
realized, Simon & Schuster said.
New Jersey-born Springsteen and his E Street band have become
one of the most iconic U.S. rock bands in the past 40 years,
releasing music like "Born in the U.S.A." and "Glory Days" that
capture the dreams and disappointments of ordinary working
Americans.
He has sold more than 120 million albums worldwide, won 20
Grammy awards, an Oscar, and is currently on a U.S. tour
performing songs from his re-released 1980 double album "The
River."
