Bruce Springsteen surprises with his cancer benefit

Bruce Springsteen first came on stage for the first time in 2019 with photographer Danny Clinch and his Tangiers Blues Band, at the Tribeca Grill in New York City on Saturday night, at a party benefiting the Kristen Ann Carr fund.

Springsteen and his company rocked the house that included a set similar to the one played at the opening of the New Jersey Asbury Lanes site last year: "Rockin '& Pneumonia & Boogie Woogie Flu" by Johnny Rivers and the old Road Apiece ", popularized by Chuck Berry and the Rolling Stones.

The event – "One Night to Remember" – aims to raise funds and raise awareness in society about the fight against sarcoma, a form of cancer. The daughter of Sirius XM E Street Radio's rock and animator Dave Marsh and Springsteen co-manager Barbara Carr passed away in 1993 at the age of 21.

Clinch was the principal winner of the evening gala held at the Tribeca Grill Loft in New York. Roy Bittan, a member of the E Street group, was also present.

The festive affair also staged a silent auction, featuring an autographed print of Springsteen on the beach – featured on Variety's cover in October 2017 – a complete series of Bobblehead dolls carefully designed to resemble the E Street Band (auctioned for $ 10,500) and a guitar autographed by Pearl Jam.

Springsteen and the E Street Band are interrupting in their tours as he had already indicated that the band would no longer be on the road in 2019. The 69-year-old musician has shown interest in the performance of his show solo "Springsteen on Broadway". in other markets.

"There are other projects that take a lot of time," he told Marsh in an interview with Sirius XM. "I'm looking forward to doing other things and at some point, I'll probably come back on [‘Springsteen on Broadway’], or something of the kind in the future, because it was such a nice format to work. "

These "other projects" include a long-time solo record, he told Variety.

"In reality, this album is influenced by 70s pop music from Southern California," he said. "Glen Campbell, Jimmy Webb, Burt Bacharach, that kind of record. It's a song-singer-songwriter record. It's related to my solo records, plus Tunnel of Love and Devils and Dust, but it does not look like them at all. Different characters live their lives. "
