Bruce Springsteen News

Bruce Springsteen wird mit seiner E Street Band am Dienstag Nachmittag (7. Dezember 2010 – gegen 15.00 Uhr Ortszeit) in Asbury Park, NJ auftreten, um einige Fans mit Songs des neuen Albums „The Promise“ zu erfreuen. Das Mini-Konzert im „Carousel House“ wird mitgefilmt und wird in naher Zukunft auf der Homepage des Künstler BruceSpringsteen.net zu sehen sein.

Bühnenaufbau – 7. Dezember 2010

Die amerikanische Fanseite Backstreets.com verschickte am Freitag (3. Dezember 2010) folgende Nachricht an seine Mitglieder:

It’s all cold down along the beach…
The wind’s whippin‘ down the boardwalk…
And if you don’t mind braving that kind of weather, we want to give you a chance to be there when Bruce Springsteen does a video shoot on the Jersey Shore next week!

Extra! Extra!
On Tuesday, December 7, Bruce will be convening the E Street Band on the Jersey Shore to play tracks from The Promise for a special future webcast. And unlike the Darkness ’09 film, they don’t want to play to nobody… so we’ve got the chance to send a small number of fans to be extras for the filming.

Bear in mind, this won’t be a concert, exactly — it’s a shoot, with all the stops and starts that usually entails. And it’s likely gonna be a cold, windy December afternoon, not in the cozy confines of previous Shore venues like the Paramount Theatre or Convention Hall. But it’ll also be a unique opportunity to see Bruce and the Band in action and up close, working up performance debuts of songs from The Promise, and to be part of the small crowd in an intimate space when they capture it on film.
We’ll be selecting a handful of fans by random drawing to be part of the audience, each able to bring one guest. To enter the drawing, all you need to do is send us an email (see details below). Please only enter IF:

• You’re able to get yourself and your guest to the Jersey Shore on Tuesday, December 7, in the mid-afternoon.
• You’re sure you can be there — we want to get as many fans in as possible and may not be able to adjust for no-shows.
• You can make it on short notice — all winners may not be notified until late Monday evening.
• You can stand the weather!

If that’s you and you’d like to enter for a chance to be there, please send an email to thepromise@backstreets.com with the following information.

For the subject line, type the name of the musician (a longtime Jackson Browne associate) who played violin on The Promise’s version of „Racing in the Street.“

In the body of the email, include your name and address (as it appears on your picture ID), as well as your cell phone (or other contact number) and preferred email address, for any and all notifications about Tuesday.

Entries must be received by Sunday, December 5, at 2 p.m. ET to be eligible for the drawing. One entry per email address, please. Those selected to attend (plus one guest) will be contacted by email as soon as possible (but again, it could be up to Monday night) with full details. We’ll post a notice on the News page to let you know when all notifications have gone out.

Good luck, we’ll hope to see you there!

Bruce Springsteen spielte gestern auf der „Stand Up for Heroes“ Benefizgala im New Yorker “Beacon Theatre” drei Songs. Begleitet von der Max Weinberg Big Band und Roy Bittan performte er vor ausverkauftem Haus „Open All Night“ und „Kitty’s Back“. Als Zugabe gab der „Boss“ mit Ehefrau Patti Scialfa „If I Should Fall Behind“ zum Besten.

Im Anschluss wurde Bruce Springsteens Gitarre für 140.000  versteigert.

Die Einnahmen werden der “Bob Woodruff Foundation” gestiftet. Die gemeinnützige Organisation unterstützt Menschen, die in Kriegen verletzt wurden.

Bruce Springsteen Personal Guitar: $140,000 at Live Auction
But mostly Bruce rocked the Beacon Theater last night, with the Max Weinberg Big Band behind him. They did three songs — “Open All Night,” a duet with Mrs. S–Patti Scialfa, and a major, rocking, spectacular “Kitty’s Back” with something like eight horn players and just sheer wildness.
…
But nothing was wilder than Cristina Carlino, the woman who started Philosophy (soaps, fragrances) bidding a winning $140,000 for the guitar Springsteen used during the show. – Quelle

Bruce Springsteen soll seit geraumer Zeit eine heimliche Affäre mit einer 44jährigen Hausfrau haben. Dieses Gerücht geht aus den Scheidungspapieren hervor, die der „betrogene“ Ehemann Arthur Kelly beim Scheidungsrichter in New Jersey eingereicht hat. In den veröffentlichten Papieren heisst es, dass seine Ehefrau Ann ein sexuelles Verhältnis mit „einem Bruce Springsteen pflege, der in Rumson, NJ und Colts Neck, NJ wohnhaft sei“.

In his divorce complaint, Arthur Kelly said his wife „has committed adultery with one Bruce Springsteen, who resides in Rumson, N.J., and Colts Neck, N.J., at various times and places too numerous to mention.“

Das Bruce Springsteen Management hat diese Vorwürfe zurückgewiesen:

Springsteen’s media representative said the Jersey native stands by a statement he issued on his website in 2006 expressing his commitment to his wife and E- Street Band member Patti Scialfa, with whom he has three children.
The statement read in part, „However, due to the unfounded and ugly rumors that have ap peared in the papers over the last few days, I felt they shouldn’t pass without comment. Patti and I have been together for 18 years — the best 18 years of my life. We have built a beautiful family we love and want to protect and our commit ment to one another remains as strong as the day we were married.“
