Bruce Springsteen shared this Thursday (1) the death of his mother, Adele, aged 98, through an emotional tribute on social media.
Along with a video showing Adele dancing, Springsteen included in the caption an excerpt of the lyrics from his 1998 song “The Wish”, a track inspired by his mother.
“I'm older, but you'll know me at a glance. We’ll find a little rock ‘n roll bar and go out dancing,” the lyrics said.
“The Wish” is one of the songs the rocker sang in his 2017 Broadway show “Springsteen on Broadway,” a one-man show based on his autobiography “Born to Run,” where he shared personal stories and performed acoustic versions of some of his biggest hits.
When the show returned to Broadway in 2021, according to Today, Springsteen told the audience that his mother, who was 95 at the time, had been living with Alzheimer's disease for 10 years.
“It took a lot from us,” he said at the time. The singer added that she has always loved dancing and that, despite her illness, “the need to dance has not left her”.
Springsteen has always celebrated his mother's passion for dance, something he added was “an essential part of his mother's spirit. It's who she is. It is beyond language and more powerful than memory. She is the embodiment.”
