He has garnered 20 Grammys, won an Oscar and a Tony, been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, been a MusiCares Person of the Year, received a Kennedy Center Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Springsteen’s memoir ‘Born to Run’ (Simon & Schuster) was released in 2016, followed by a historic 236-show run of ‘Springsteen on Broadway’ at Jujamcyn’s Walter Kerr Theatre in 2017 and 2018. His most recent studio album, 2020's 'Letter To You,' marked Springsteen's first time recording live with the E Street Band in decades and debuted at #1 in eleven countries. In 2021, Springsteen collaborated with President Barack Obama on the book and podcast Renegades: Born In The USA, reopened New York theatres with a reprisal of 'Springsteen On Broadway' and shared his never-released "The Legendary 1979 No Nukes Concerts" film.
