This photo-biography recounts the fascinating life of a boy from Freehold, New Jersey, who goes on to become a rock n’ roll legend. From podcasts with former President Barack Obama to record-smashing sales deals, Bruce Springsteen is just as much The Boss now as he was decades ago. He turned out over ten #1 hits and more than 120 million CDs sold, the highest in rock history. Follow him through five chronological chapters that highlight both his greatest milestones and lesser-known struggles—as he introduces the world to heartland rock songs about working-class America, loses success in the 1990s, and returns with a vengeance to ring in the new millennium while lending his support to a dividing political landscape in new age America.
