An in-depth interview with Bruce Springsteen will be featured on the ABC News programs “Nightline” and “UpClose” on Tuesday (7/30), the day Springsteen’s new album hits stores.
According to ABC, Springsteen talks to anchor Ted Koppel about his music, his life and the inspiration for his new album, “The Rising,” Springsteen’s first album with the E Street Band since 1984.
Springsteen also “explains how the events of Sept. 11 inspired many of the recordings on “The Rising” and performs his new song, ‘Empty Skies,’ about the pain of losing a loved one,” according to ABC. The interview takes place at Springsteen’s home in North New Jersey.
As previously reported, NBC’s “Today” will be broadcast from the boardwalk in Asbury Park, N.J., on Tuesday, and Springsteen and band will perform for the morning show at the adjacent Asbury Park Convention Hall.
According to the Asbury Park Press, Springsteen and “Today” co-host Matt Lauer cruised around the city on Wednesday afternoon (7/24), filming a segment for the morning show. Springsteen reportedly stopped at Sonny’s Southern Cuisine, a restaurant, and performed “a stirring acoustic version of ‘My City of Ruins,’ the song he penned about Asbury Park, but which has new meaning since Sept. 11.”
