Bruce Springsteen Discusses Two-Year Writers' Block

Bruce Springsteen has disclosed that he hasn't written any new music in two years, revealing this during the Los Angeles premiere of his documentary, 'Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band'. The legendary rock star, who released his last album 'Only the Strong Survive' in 2022, cited a lack of inspiration, saying, "Songs don't come that often." Despite facing personal challenges, including health issues and his wife Patti Scialfa's cancer battle, Springsteen remains committed to live performances, vowing to continue until he can no longer do so. He emphasized that there are no plans for retirement, dismissing rumors about a farewell tour during a recent Philadelphia show. The complexities of aging and mortality are themes that resonate through his current work and the documentary, which reflects on these realities. Springsteen's previous album, 'Letter to You', was conceived in a burst of creativity following the death of a close friend, showing his ability to channel personal loss into music.
