Bruce Springsteen's passion for the stage remains undiminished. The iconic singer, who celebrated his 75th birthday in September, has been captivating sold-out arenas worldwide for nearly half a century. The 20-time Grammy winner shows no signs of slowing down. "You've never seen a hearse with luggage on top, so that will be it for me," Springsteen stated during a recent appearance on the British chat show "The Graham Norton Show." He further emphasized, "I am going to keep going until it's over," indicating his intention to perform until his final days. Springsteen, who recently released the documentary "Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band," admitted that he still experiences stage fright despite his extensive experience. "I get anticipatory anxiety," he confessed. "It's not quite the same thing as nervousness. It's a natural feeling to have before you go out to challenge yourself. If it wasn't there, I think there would be something wrong with you, and you couldn't do the job."
This aspect of his life may be explored in the upcoming biopic "Deliver Me from Nowhere," where Jeremy Allen White is set to portray the legendary rocker. The film will chronicle Springsteen's journey following the release of his 1980 album "The River" and his work on the stripped-down 1982 follow-up, "Nebraska." Springsteen expressed his appreciation for the film's "lovely cast" and mentioned his involvement in the project. He was also supportive of White, who will be stepping into his shoes. "This is not easy to do because you can't do an imitation, you have to do a personal interpretation," Springsteen explained. "It's difficult, but he is a great actor and sings pretty good." White recently shared his admiration for Springsteen's support in an August interview with GQ, stating, "I've had some access to him, and he's just the greatest guy."
