'I am going to keep going until it’s over...' Bruce Springsteen vows to never retire

Bruce Springsteen has vowed to never retire

Bruce Springsteen has vowed to never retire and "keep going until it's over".

The 75-year-old rock legend - who released his debut album 'Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.', back in 1973 - has no intention of hanging up his guitar, despite having been making music and performing live for five decades.

Appearing on UK series 'The Graham Norton Show', he said: "You’ve never seen a hearse with luggage on top so that will be it for me. I am going to keep going until it’s over.”

The 'Born To Run' songwriter - who chatted to host Graham about his new documentary 'Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band' - also revealed that he still gets a sense of anxiousness before he steps on stage, but he would not describe the feeling as nerves.

He said: "I get anticipatory anxiety. It’s not quite the same thing as nervousness. It’s a natural feeling to have before you go out to challenge yourself. If it wasn’t there, I think there would be something wrong with you and you couldn’t do the job.”

Currently, the movie 'Deliver Me from Nowhere' is being made about the how Springsteen's 1982 album 'Nebraska' was made.

In director Scott Cooper's biopic, the 'I'm on Fire' singer is played by Jeremy Allen White and Bruce is pleased with what he has seen so far.

The guitarist said: "It’s a lovely cast and I am involved a little.

"He (Jeremy) is a great actor and sings pretty good."
