Bruce Springsteen is about to launch a world tour (and yes, you can see him in Vancouver) – and before he does, he’s going to release a new greatest-hits collection (that goes from 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ all the way up through 2020’s Letter to You)!
The new greatest-hits is called Best of Bruce Springsteen and is out April 19. You’ll be able to grab it in two versions: an 18-track 2-LP or 1-CD set, or a digital 31-tracks.
Also, this compilation is only original music, so you won’t hear anything from The Boss’ ’22 covers album, Only the Strong Survive.

If you follow Springsteen, you know delayed some shows last year to take time to recover from a peptic ulcer disease.
Doesn’t sound good, I know.
At the time, Springsteen said to fans, “Thanks to all my friends and fans for your good wishes, encouragement, and support. I’m on the mend and can’t wait to see you all next year!”
