Bruce Springsteen Talks ‘Broadway’ Return, New Music With Killers and John Mellencamp, and 2022 Tour?
In addition to the show — tickets go on sale today, and fans must be fully vaccinated for two weeks to attend —Springsteen says he spent time in Indiana with John Mellencamp, working on a few songs for a fall release, as well as a project with Brandon Flowers and the Killers on a track that could debut as soon as this month.
As for the Broadway show, Springsteen said he was asked to help with the revival of the Great White Way, but wasn’t sure because he was planning a 2022 tour with the E Street Band.
“[Manager] Jon [Landau] mentioned it to me,” he said. “I knew we were going to tour with the band next year, so I said, ‘Maybe I’ll take the time off.'” But a conversation with a friend convinced him to return to Broadway — although it was unclear whether that was a confirmation that a long-expected 2022 E Street Band tour is definitely in the works (Springsteen’s didn’t really say during the interview; a rep did not immediately respond to Variety‘s requests for comment).
