American rocker Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band are planning a new album and tour in 2012, according to the singer’s website. The collaboration between Springsteen and the E-Street Band will continue after the unexpected death of saxophonist Clarence Clemmons.
“A lot of you have been hearing that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be on tour in 2012,” notes the website. “That is absolutely correct.”
“The European dates run from the middle of May until end of July and are being announced this week. Info on the US dates and the World tour dates will coming up shortly.”
Bruce Springsteen and The E-street Band will be headlining U.K.’s Isle Of Wight Festival in June and the Hard Rock Calling Festival in London in July.
The singer also mentioned a new album in the works: “In addition, we want you to know that the music is almost done (but still untitled), we have almost settled on the release date (but not quite yet), and that we are all incredibly excited about everything that we’re planning for 2012.”
