Bruce Springsteen shares his heartbreaking secret

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Bruce Springsteen has shared the heartbreaking secret and the inner turmoil he’s had to deal with throughout the years.

The Boss made a brave confession in the tell-all interview where he stated that he had been suffering from depression for more than 30 years. The singer also admitted he had concerns he’d face the same fate as his father, who struggled with the illness.

Springsteen said, “You don’t know the illness’s parameters. Can I get sick enough to where I become a lot more like my father than I thought I might? I was crushed between 60 and 62, good for a year and out again from 63 to 64. Not a good record.”

The man behind iconic hits like Born in the USA and Dancing in the Dark is set to go into more detail in his upcoming book Born to Run which, according to his wife Patti Scialfa, was a cathartic process that help Springsteen deal with a lot of anguish.

Scialfa said, “He approached the book the way he would approach writing a song, and a lot of times, you solve something that you’re trying to figure out through the process of writing — you bring something home to yourself.”
