I agree that the old material be examined. Sorry for the confusion! Then, archived if it has been dealt with. In addition, I think that Springsteen should have a section for awards that can open and shut like that of Stevie Wonder. -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 19:27, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
"When the children reached school-age in the early 1990s...." - looking at their birth dates, this statement cannot possibly be correct.... -- ChrisTheDude ( talk) 11:14, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
The lead has been tagged as too short. Any thoughts on this? The word count is 11,264 as of today, for which the MOS suggests "One or two paragraphs" (which is what we have). I can't see anything more to add, beyond that he is married (which I have added). Iadmc (Jubileeclipman) ( talk) 06:53, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
How is it that this is not mentioned in the article? 173.86.45.90 ( talk) https://search.aol.com/aol/search?s_it=sb-top&v_t=loki-tb-sb&q=bruce+springsteen+cancels+North+Carolina+concert — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.86.45.90 ( talk) 01:13, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
The article Better Days (Bruce Springsteen) is poorly sourced and not clearly notable. please consider if it could be improved or if it should be deleted. Dysklyver 15:28, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
"Each show has been completely restored, remixed and remastered for the highest possible sound quality and are [sic] available for purchase through digital download or CD at live.brucespringsteen.net, where fans can also buy all of Springsteen's live recordings from the High Hopes Tour." Wow! Now tell us about this week's special offers! NicholasNotabene ( talk) 01:35, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
It is a deep concern for our community that the article of Bruce Springsteen does not have a 'Legacy' or 'Accolades' section even though all other artists of his stature like Elvis Presley, Paul McCartney and all others do have it. I think this section should have been added a long before though this is not the thing i am presently concerned about. My recent edit was the addition of a very significant info about Bruce Springsteen. Bruce was ranked on no.1 in a list of "Top 25 Best Rock Frontmen (and Women) of all time" published by the most renowned musical platform Billboard. I added this in the lead which was then reverted by Calidum as per MOS:LEADNO. I think this should be in this article because it is of huge importance when somebody is ranked so high by an reliable source. So i ask for a consensus on this issue and my preference on this matter is that the content be added in one of the article's lead paragraphs until a legacy section is added to the article. As soon as a legacy section is formed in the article, one may remove it from the lead and add it in the section itself. Thank you for your kindness to read this long and irritating message.

About the new album... it was already completely done for over a year when Bruce did this interview in September 2016. Perhaps interesting to add? https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7496105/bruce-springsteen-interview-born-to-run-vanity-fair-book-new-album— Preceding unsigned comment added by Lumdeloo ( talk • contribs) 09:17, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
The article needs more sources and is overly detailed. It has been tagged accordingly. SunCrow ( talk) 06:16, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
In the title it says he earned the nickname because of his energetic performances. Later in the article it says he earned it because he would collect the band fees and distribute payment to the band members. Can we decide on one or the other? -- RobertGary1 ( talk) 17:08, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
Shouldn't 'The Promise' be included somewhere here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.246.252.109 ( talk) 10:41, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
The article needs more sources. There are about 30 inline "citation needed" tags. SunCrow ( talk) 08:16, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
From looking at today's edit history (May 4), it appears an anonymous user was playing games. Rather than trying to comb through his revisions, I wanted to revert it to the last version prior to the vandalism, but when I did that, it appears Wikipedia didn't save the edit (and I tried it twice). Can someone else please try fixing this? It appears the last valid version was from 17:53 on May 1 by user "Throughthemind." Thanks in advance. 1995hoo ( talk) 18:04, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
Looking for consensus on if the November 2020 arrest should be included in the article and also the Jeep The Middle Super Bowl commercial legal ramifications (It is reported the company was never told about the DWI and now lawsuits are being filed. Should this information be included? I vote for inclusion. Whoisjohngalt ( talk) 19:10, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
AND today CNN reports that the DUI charges have been dropped and that Springsteen pleaded guilty to drinking in public. He paid a $500 fine. This is why you don't rush to include this sort of thing in Wikipedia articles. 1995hoo ( talk) 17:32, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
A couple of anonymous editors whom I suspect actually to be the same person, though I cannot prove that, are persistently trying to add the word "podcaster" into the first paragraph of this article: "Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949) is an American singer, songwriter, podcaster, and musician who is both a solo artist and the leader of the E Street Band." This clearly doesn't belong there even though it's accurate. Springsteen is notable, and is included on Wikipedia, because of his musical career, not because he is releasing (as the article says further down) an eight-installment podcast in which he talks to a former president. I'm not sure whether I would be violating WP:3RR if I continue to revert that change today because I'm not sure whether the addition is coming from the same person and I'm not sure it's really "blatant vandalism." But if we could have an obvious consensus here on the talk page that it's inappropriate, it would be helpful. Can someone point me to the correct Wikipedia guideline explaining why the lead paragraph doesn't need to include this sort of trivial nonsense? 1995hoo ( talk) 19:34, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
Bruce Springsteen is in talks to sell the rights to his recorded music to Sony Music as well as his publishing catalog, three sources confirm to Variety. Sources tell Variety the talks have been going on for several months; reps for Springsteen, Sony Music and Sony Music Publishing declined or did not respond to requests for comment.
Springsteen, of course, is one of the most successful recording artists of the past 50 years, with 65.5 million album sales in the U.S. alone, according to the RIAA, and a vast song catalog that generates hundreds if not thousands of cover versions every year. Billboard estimated that the Springsteen album catalog generated about $15 million in revenue in 2020, and that his publishing catalog brings in about $7.5 million per year.
Over the decades Springsteen and his manager of nearly 50 years, Jon Landau, have been nothing if not savvy businessmen: In addition to lucrative deals for his publishing and recorded music, Springsteen is one of the most profitable touring acts in history, having raked in more than $840 million in touring dollars between just 2010 and 2019, according to Pollstar — one decade of a nearly 60-year career. Additionally, Springsteen’s team sells dozens of archival live recordings on his website, to which he owns the rights and bypasses record labels completely.
