Jeremy Allen White Was Born to Run as Bruce Springsteen in ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere' Trailer
Moments earlier, Jeremy Allen White's Springsteen settled behind a mic in his New Jersey bedroom — just him, some antiquated furniture, and Mike Batlan (Paul Walter Hauser), his recording engineer for the Nebraska sessions. 'Don't need to be perfect,' he tells him. 'I want it to feel like I'm in the room by myself.' In theaters Oct. 24, Deliver Me From Nowhere catches the musician during the making of Nebraska, his stripped back acoustic folk record that arrived in 1982.

The biopic trailer offers glimpses into Springsteen's rugged childhood under the watch of his father (played by Stephen Graham), his whirlwind romance with a woman named Faye (Odessa Young), and his nights performing to sold-out crowds. The clip closes out with White doing his best take on the Springsteen classic 'Born to Run' with lights flashing all around him and sweat pouring down his face. 'I'm trying to find something real in all the noise,' he says.
'Making Springsteen was deeply moving as it allowed me to step inside the soul of an artist I've long admired — and to witness, up close, the vulnerability and strength behind his music,' director Scott Cooper said in a statement. 'The experience felt like a journey through memory, myth, and truth. And more than anything, it was a privilege to translate that raw emotional honesty to the screen, and in doing so, it changed me. I cannot thank Bruce and Jon Landau enough for allowing me to tell their story.'
Cooper wrote the script for the film based on Warren Zane's 2023 book, Deliver Me from Nowhere. The film also stars Gaby Hoffman and Marc Maron. Deliver Me From Nowhere began production this past October. In November, Springsteen stopped by a shoot day in Bayonne, New Jersey, when the crew was capturing the moment he picked out his first car, a Chevrolet Z28 Camaro. The scene appears early in the trailer, with a salesman telling him, 'It's awful fitting for a handsome devil rockstar — I do know who you are.' White's Springsteen responds, 'Well, that makes one of us.'

Jessie J Battling Infection and Chest Pains Following Breast Cancer Surgery
Six weeks after undergoing a mastectomy following her breast cancer diagnosis, Jessie J was admitted to the hospital once again to address her ongoing complications. The musician shared in a recent Instagram Story post that she discharged herself ('I hate being in the hospital') after being assured that the symptoms she has been experiencing are not related to a blood clot in her lungs. '6 weeks post surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery,' Jessie wrote on Saturday, Aug. 2. 'Not expected or planned. I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung. IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT THANK GOD.' The singer's testing revealed an infection and fluid in her lungs, but has not been explicitly detailed. 'Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night and will continue the investigation as an outpatient,' she said.

'I finally got a diagnosis of what's been going on. Lots of people have been asking, apparently it's called… Dramatic? I think that's the spelling,' she wrote. 'My symptoms are the same and no idea what's wrong yet. But my sarcasm and sense of humour are holding on.' Jessie shared that 'people think that I'm like hanging on by a thread,' but noted, 'in some moments [it] has felt that way.' Detailing her symptoms, she recalled, 'Two or three days ago, when I woke up, and I couldn't breathe. I still have pain in my chest when I breathe, but it's not as bad.' In July, Jessie revealed that her mastectomy was successful and the cancer did not spread. 'Happy tears are real. Thank YOU for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy, and all the positive energy,' she said at the time. 'Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters. But for now, it's gratitude time, and I am changing my name to The LopJess monster.'

Jessie J Has ‘No Cancer Spread' Following Mastectomy: ‘Happy Tears Are Real'
Jessie J is on the road to recovery after completing surgery following an early breast cancer diagnosis. The singer-songwriter shared an update on Instagram following her mastectomy, revealing that the cancer did not spread. 'Results = I have NO cancer spread,' Jessie wrote, followed by a string of crying emojis. 'Happy tears are real. Thank YOU for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy and all the positive energy.' The caption accompanied a video of her son, Sky, learning to say 'Mommy's gonna be OK.' More from Rolling Stone Jessie J Hopes Her Breast Cancer Is 'All Gone' Following Surgery Jessie J Shares the 'Honest Lows and Highs' After Undergoing Breast Cancer Surgery Jessie J Played a Show Right After 5 Breast Biopsies: 'I Didn't Want to Cancel' 'This video is from the night before my surgery,' she wrote in her caption. 'We called it baby boy. You are my biggest ray of light and with you in my life the darkness will never win.' Following the surgery in late June, Jessie said that one of the biggest pitfalls of the experience was 'not being able to be the mum I'm used to being and not picking Sky up,' as well as 'the fear of not knowing if the cancer is all gone.' Prior to the procedure, the singer shared an emotional video in which she cried at the thought of hearing her son say he loves her and not being able to say it back. Jessie is celebrating her victory, but still has a ways to go before she's fully recovered. 'Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters,' she wrote. 'But for now it's gratitude time and I am changing my name to The LopJess monster.' When Jessie revealed her diagnosis, she mentioned that she was 'not processing it because I'm working so hard.' In a separate post shared in June, she looked back on a live performance she completed right after she had undergone several breast biopsies in private. 'I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories,' she said.

See Trey Anastasio Perform ‘Scarlet Begonias' and ‘Fire on the Mountain' With Dead and Co
Dead and Co. wrapped up their three-day celebration of the Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary Sunday evening at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park with an epic set that included 'Shakedown Street,' 'Sugar Magnolia,' 'Cumberland Blues,' and 'Standing on the Moon.' The Trey Anastasio Band served as the warm-up act, and the Phish frontman came out during the start of Dead and Co's set to join them on 'Scarlet Begonias' and 'Fire on the Mountain.' It was a moment of jam band bliss with the two songs stretching out for roughly 15 minutes each.

'Every once in a while, there's a titanic American musician that comes through the ether,' he told Rolling Stone in July 2024, 'whether it be Louis Armstrong or James Brown. I mean, James Brown had a great band, too. And Jerry had a great band. We were lucky we got to experience that genius of American music in Jerry. We now get to sing his songs. Everybody gets to sing his songs.' When the Dead reconvened in 2015 to commemorate their 50th anniversary at a series of stadium shows, they recruited Anastasio to front the band. 'In my opinion, Jerry was one of the great American singers,' he told Rolling Stone's David Fricke that year. 'Those post-Jerry configurations [of the Dead] – that's always been the issue. I don't think anybody can be Jerry's voice.' 'My thought is, I love Jerry's voice, and I love these songs,' he continued. 'I'm happy to joyously sing whatever comes my way. But my take on it is that everybody sings – the audience too. They'll sing. We'll sing. Everybody knows the words. People have such lifelong relationships to these songs. When I say I'm providing a service – it's to the songs, the memories, the community.' Just months after the 50th anniversary shows, Bob Weir, Micky Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann formed Dead and Co. with John Mayer. They staged a farewell tour in the summer of 2023, but came back together last year for a residency at the Sphere. There was another run of Sphere shows earlier this year. There were early conversations about bringing Phil Lesh into the fold for the 60th anniversary shows. When he died in October 2024, Weir questioned whether it made sense to even have the concerts. 'I wouldn't put anybody in his place, so it would be a trio at this point,' Weir told Rolling Stone's Angie Martoccio in March. 'It'd be me and two drummers. I'd have to think about that.' The shows ultimately went forward with the current lineup of Dead and Co., though Lesh's son, Grahame Lesh, joined them at various points all three nights to represent his father. Kreutzmann, who has battled health problems in recent years and left Dead and Co. in 2023, wasn't there. There are no more Dead and Co. shows on the books, but Weir is confident the music of the Dead will carry on even after he's gone. 'I have no doubt about that,' he told Rolling Stone in March. 'What I'm trying to do is get my concerto project to the point where that is self-sustaining, and then I would probably want other folks to step in when I'm no longer here, and Wolf Bros. is a different deal. That whole thing is constructed so that anyone can step in and do it.'
