Bruce Springsteen is reportedly working on a new album. But this will be a different one, as The Boss is set to work on a solo effort, as he is reportedly taking his time off the E Street Band.
According to a report by the Consequence Of Sound, Springsteen revealed in an interview with SiriusXM's E Street Radio that he would work on a solo release and would have to give the band time off after the tour that they are currently doing.
"It wasn't a project I was going to probably take the band out on," Bruce Springsteen said about the new album. "So I said, 'Gee, that's going to push the band playing again until a ways in the future. It'll be nice to get some playing in so you don't wind up being two or three years between E Street tours.' This will give us a chance to get out there and stretch our muscles a little bit."
Speaking about the tour, the "Born In The U.S.A." singer revealed his group's initial plans for their tour that wasn't supposed to happen, which turned out to be a nationwide set of shows.
"We made the box set and there was no plan to tour," he said. "Then we felt, 'Maybe we should do a show just to raise the flag and have some fun and make it a little more exciting.' I said. 'Okay, maybe we'll do a show in New York.' Then that went quick to, 'Maybe we should do a couple of shows.' Then it turns into, 'Maybe we should do a small series of shows, basically one-nighters, with maybe a little bit around the country."
Bruce Springsteen is yet to comment about his new solo album, as he and the rest of his crew are busy doing shows.
Full tour dates are available in his official website.
