Bruce Springsteen was born to run, which for the past five decades has meant touring the world with his E Street Band. Now, a film chronicling the group's rehearsal process and famous performances is coming to Hulu and Disney+ this fall, it was announced on Tuesday (May 14).
Premiering on both streaming platforms in October, Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will give fans an up-close look at how The Boss and his crew prepare for their live shows, featuring archival footage of their longtime collaborators, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of their 2023-24 world tour. It will also feature confessional interviews with the 74-year-old 'Dancing in the Dark' singer, while band members will give first-hand accounts of performing on stage with the living legend and 'keeping the magic of The E Street Band as strong as ever. ever,” according to a statement.
The Thom Zimny-directed project follows Springsteen's previous autobiographical efforts in various media, from his 2016 memoir Born to run in the 2018 Netflix film Springsteen on Broadway. The 20-time Grammy winner is also starring in an upcoming biopic about his life and career from 20th Century Studios and Disney, in which Of the bear Jeremy Allen White will star.
Zimny and Springsteen are credited as producers on Road Diaryas are Jon Landau, Adrienne Gerard and Sean Stuart.
The announcement comes shortly after Springsteen and The E Street Band wrapped up the US leg of their 2024 world tour in April, where the musicians performed three-hour evening shows with many surprise guests and a collective 60 different songs on the setlist. They're now in the midst of playing a string of venues in Europe this spring and summer, after which they'll return to North America for more dates from August to late November.
The band was originally scheduled to perform throughout last fall. However, Springsteen's battle with a peptic ulcer forced them to postpone. “Here at E Street, we are heartbroken,” the musician wrote in a statement at the time. “We'll be back to pick those looks and then some. Thank you for your understanding and support. We are having a blast at our US shows and look forward to more great times. We will be back soon. Love and God bless, Bruce.”
