Bruce Springsteen shares devastating family news

Bruce Springsteen has shared the heartbreaking news that his mother has passed away. 

The 74-year-old rockstar posted a tribute to his mother Adele, announcing that she died on January 31st at the age of 98. 

Springsteen wrote a lengthy caption on Instagram, alongside a video of him and his late mum dancing to swing music. 

“Adele Springsteen — May 4, 1925-January 31, 2024,” he began.

“I remember in the morning mum hearing your alarm clock ring. I’d lie in bed and listen to you getting ready for work, the sound of your makeup case on the sink."

“And the ladies at the office all lipstick, perfume and rustling skirts, how proud and happy you always looked walking home from work."

“It ain’t no house on the hill with a garden and a nice little yard. I’ve got my hot rod down on Bond Street I’m older but you’ll know me in a glance."

“We’ll find us a little rock ‘n roll bar and we’ll go out and dance. Bruce Springsteen, The Wish.”

Fans were quick to flock to the comments section to share their condolences and sympathies with the singer. 

One person wrote, “Oh I’m so sorry to hear that. You dancing on stage with your mom in London back in 2013 was a moment of pure joy. She was proud of you, you were proud of her and we ALL revelled in the love and affection.” 

Another added, “Our condolences Bruce and whole family. Sad news. We will remember the great moments seeing Bruce dancing with Adele in the concerts."
