Tramps like us were born to run, and Bruce Springsteen was born to perform. The iconic musician, who has made hits like “Born to Run”, “Dancing in the Dark” and “Born in the U.S.A.”, celebrated his 75th birthday yesterday, and today, Hulu has released the trailer for the upcoming tour documentary Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band.
In the trailer for Road Diary, you get an account from Springsteen and The E Street Band members as they embark on their latest tour. The film premieres Friday, October 25 on Hulu and Disney+. ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos will also sit down with Bruce Springsteen ahead of the release of the Hulu Original film for a wide-ranging conversation in an ABC News Studios primetime special, Bruce Springsteen: Backstage and Backstreets, airing Sunday, Oct. 20 at 10 p.m. EDT on ABC, next day on Hulu, Disney+.
The official synopsis reads,
“Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band offer the most in-depth look ever at the creation of their legendary live performances – sharing fly-on-the-wall footage of band rehearsals and special moments backstage – as well as hearing directly from Springsteen on the topic. Fans get the chance to experience professionally shot footage from the 2023-2024 tour for the first time ever – while following the band through their one-of-a-kind preparation process, and onto performances for tens-of-thousands across continents.”
Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band was directed by Springsteen’s longtime collaborator, Emmy® and GRAMMY® Award winner Thom Zimny, and produced by Bruce Springsteen, Jon Landau, Thom Zimny, Adrienne Gerard, and Sean Stuart.
Additionally, Springsteen fans will have Jeremy Allen White‘s biopic to look forward to. That film is based on Warren Zanes’ essential book for any Bruce fan, Deliver Me From Where, which will track the evolution and making of 1982’s Nebraska, a minimal and intimate follow-up to double album The River. White is set to play The Boss, while Jeremy Strong has been cast to play longtime manager Jon Landau. As per the book’s publisher, “Nebraska expressed a turmoil that was reflective of the mood of the country, but it was also a symptom of trouble in the artist’s life, the beginnings of a mental breakdown that Springsteen would only talk about openly decades after the album’s release.”
