Bruce Springsteen has spoken out about his long mooted autobiography, saying that there doesn’t seem to be an ‘urgency’ to return to writing it.
Speaking to Grammy.com ahead of tonight’s (February 8) 2013 MusiCares Person of the Year gala, where he will be honoured with a tribute concert featuring performances from Mumford and Sons, Neil Young, Patti Smith, Alabama Shakes, Elton John, Sting and Eddie Vedder and more, he said of the status of his memoir: I got some stuff I’ve worked on, but I don’t have anything fixed. I worked on it for a while, then the music came along and the tour came along. There doesn’t seem to be an urgency to return to it at the moment. It’ll present itself and I’ll see what happens.
Springsteen also revealed that he has recorded a country album which he hasn’t released. He said: “A while back, I recorded a country record and put it aside. I returned to it a couple of months ago and thought, ‘What am I going to do next?'”.
Tonight’s gala is being hosted by The Daily Show comedian Jon Stewart. The all-star show will celebrate Springsteen, who was named as MusiCares Person of the Year for his combination of artistic contributions and charity work.
Previous MusiCares Person of the Year winners include Gloria Estefan, Phil Collins, Elton John, Bono and Barbra Streisand.
