He's also been using the stage to weigh in on the state of America. The 'Born in the USA' singer is a staunch Democrat and has spoken at several concerts of his concerns for the direction his country is going in.
President Donald Trump has fired back, calling the musician overrated and even posting a doctored video showing Springsteen falling on stage after being struck by a golf ball hit by Trump.

Meanwhile, a documentary called Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band is playing on Hulu and Disney; and a biopic, Deliver Me from Nowhere, is set for release later this year, with
The Bear star Jeremy Allen White playing Springsteen.
While the 75-year-old rocker's fame is showing no signs of waning, his children with
fellow E Street Band member Patti Scialfa are staying out of the spotlight. In an interview with The Times, the father of three revealed that his kids weren't exposed to his fame and 'chose their own lives'.
We know Springsteen's daughter, Jessica Rae, is an Olympic equestrian – but what about his sons? Here's everything to know about 34-year-old Evan James – celebrating his 35th on July 25 – and 30-year-old Samuel Ryan Springsteen.

Big, showstopping jewels anchor new high jewellery collections of Louis Vuitton, Cartier and Bulgari, while auctioneers have sold especially momentous stones for record sums
In 1937, the rather sharp-tongued British politician Sir Henry 'Chips' Channon wrote in his diary of Lady Granard, one of the so-called 'dollar princesses' – American heiresses who married into the British aristocracy – that she 'could scarcely walk for jewels'. One such jewel, a frankly enormous emerald set into a diamond-studded collar necklace, is a highlight of the Cartier exhibition currently showing at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Cartier Collection diamond and platinum necklace with a 143.23-carat emerald, made to special order in 1932. Photo: Handout Advertisement Because yes, huge gemstones have never lost their appeal. One only needs to look at Anne Hathaway and Priyanka Chopra Jonas at this year's Met Gala for glittering proof. Both wore necklaces from Bulgari's high jewellery collection Polychroma, with Hathaway's – the Cosmic Vault – featuring a 123.35-carat sugarloaf sapphire, and Chopra Jonas' – the Magnus Emerald – featuring an emerald of 241.06 carats. The latter is the largest stone the Roman jeweller has ever set, no less. The necklaces are among 60 'millionaire pieces' included in the 600-piece range – launched in Sicily in May – with such pieces only available to the brand's top clients. Anne Hathaway wears Bulgari's Cosmic Vault necklace with its 123.35-carat sapphire, from the Polychroma collection. Exceptional gemstones were of course at the centre of the Magnificent Jewels auction at Christie's, which set records in New York in June with pieces such as the Blue Belle sapphire necklace, which sold for US$11.3 million, and the Marie-Thérèse pink diamond, which sold for US$14 million. Clearly this points to certain categories of clients unperturbed by the vagaries of the global economy. New research from Bain also found fine jewellery – and especially high jewellery – to be more resilient than categories such as fashion.

'Post pandemic, we are craving opulence and personality … My clients want to invest in pieces that are fun, joyful and uniquely personal,' she says. 'The conversation has moved from 'quiet luxury' to maximalism in the context of personal style, which gives anyone who needs it the permission to layer their precious pieces and wear whatever brings joy.'
