How Old Bruce Springsteen Is

A new Hulu and Disney+ documentary, Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, offers a behind-the-scenes look at Bruce Springsteen and the members of the E Street Band on the road during their 2023 World Tour, which will continue into 2025. The documentary includes a number of reveals about Bruce Springsteen and the band as well as an in-depth look at rehearsals, live performances, and backstage moments. Bruce Springsteen himself also provides commentary and his own insights about his creative process and his collaboration with the E Street Band.

Road Diary is one of several current and upcoming projects dedicated to Bruce Springsteen's history, continuing a trend of interest in musical biopics. Among these projects is Bruce Springsteen: Backstage and Backstreets, which is also available on Disney+, and Deliver Me from Nowhere, a feature film that will star Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen and explore the making of Springsteen's 1982 album Nebraska. Given the interest in Springsteen and his work, it's clear that he is a true music legend—but how old is the singer/songwriter, and how long has he been performing?

Bruce Springsteen Is 74 Years Old In Road Diary

Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band's Tour Runs From 2023 to 2025

Bruce Springsteen is currently 75 years old, making him approximately 73–74 years old throughout Road Diary, which began filming in 2022 and continued into 2024. The tour itself began on February 1st, 2023, and is expected to end on July 3rd, 2025. Springsteen will therefore be 75 years old for a significant portion of the World Tour, reminiscent of Frank Sinatra's 1990-1991 Diamond Jubilee World Tour alongside Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé, during which Sinatra was also 75.

Many of the members of the E Street Band are also around Bruce Springsteen's age. Garry Tallent, who has been the bassist for the E Street Band since the band was established in 1972, is currently 74 years old, and current pianist and synth player for the band, Roy Bittan, is 75. Members Nils Lofgren, Max Weinberg, Steven Van Zandt, Charles Giordano, and Patti Scialfa are also in their 70s.

How Old Bruce Springsteen Was When He First Started Touring

Bruce Springsteen's First Headlining Tour Began In 1975

Bruce Springsteen's first headlining tour was the Born to Run tour, which ran from 1975 to 1977. Bruce Springsteen was therefore approximately 26 years old when he began touring. However, that was far from Springsteen's first performance. Springsteen began performing in 1972 following his debut studio album, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., but he did so exclusively as an opener. It wasn't until his breakout album Born to Run that Springsteen began headlining.
