Bruce Springsteen has revealed he is working on a new solo album.
Springsteen called SiriusXM’s E Street Radio on December 9, 2015, to reveal the news.
Reports Rolling Stone, Springsteen had called the show to discuss the forthcoming River tour, to support The Ties That Bind: The River Collection, a four-CD/three-DVD package dedicated to his 1980 double album.
“The project I’ve been working on is more of a solo project,” he said. “It wasn’t a project I was going to probably take the band out on. So I said, ‘Gee, that’s going to push the band playing again until a ways in the future. It’ll be nice to get some playing in so you don’t wind up being two or three years between E Street tours.’ This will give us a chance to get out there and stretch our muscles a little bit.”
“We made the box set and there was no plan to tour,” Springsteen said. “Then we felt, ‘Maybe we should do a show just to raise the flag and have some fun and make it a little more exciting.’ I said. ‘Okay, maybe we’ll do a show in New York.’ Then that went quick to, ‘Maybe we should do a couple of shows.’ Then it turns into, ‘Maybe we should do a small series of shows, basically one-nighters, with maybe a little bit around the country.”
