Bruce Springsteen Reveals He Was “Crushed” by Depression

Bruce Springsteen gets candid about his struggles with depression in his forthcoming memoir Born to Run. “I was crushed between 60 and 62, good for a year and out again from 63 to 64,“ the musician writes in an excerpt shared by Vanity Fair yesterday. “Not a good record.“ Springsteen also tells the outlet why he decided to talk about his mental health in the book. “I knew I was gonna ’go there’ in the book,“ he adds. “I had to find the roots of my own troubles and issues-and the joyful things that have allowed me to put on the kind of shows that we put on.“ Born to Run will be released on September 27th.
