Springsteen tour dates and tickets
The man we know was 'The Boss' had a rocky start in music, admitting his former bandmates and him were 'complete rejects' in their early music-making days.
He opened up about his famed performances and life as a rock star.
"You're picked on, you're beat up, you're cast out. These are the A-B and Cs of rock stardom, you can't get there without those things! I don't know anybody who hasn't got there seriously without those things,” Springsteen said.
"Music was my first self-medication, it centered me, gave me a sense of purpose, a sense of identity. Whenever I came home from playing I felt whole."
Bruce earned his nickname 'The Boss' collecting money at gigs and sharing it with his band, but so far in 2016 fans all over the world have paid $135 million to see him perform.
He has toured Australia five times, received rave reviews across the board, and is set to return in early 2017.
