"Hey everyone, did you hear that Bruce Springsteen is not planning on retiring anytime soon? Despite having to cancel and postpone some shows recently, the 74-year-old music legend made it clear that he's not ready to say farewell just yet. In fact, tickets for his latest tour just went on sale and fans are rushing to Ticketmaster in droves to snag a spot.
This morning, Bruce released additional tickets for his UK tour dates, which are set for 2025. Due to overwhelming demand, he even added more shows to his schedule. These include performances in Manchester and Liverpool in May, followed by a four-day stint at Anfield Stadium in June.
Of course, with such high demand, it's no surprise that some fans are feeling frustrated. Many took to social media to express their disappointment over the long wait times and steep prices, with some general admission tickets reaching over £300. It's no wonder people are calling it "scandalous."
But for those lucky enough to secure tickets, it's going to be a memorable experience. And Bruce himself has reassured everyone that he has no plans to slow down. In fact, during a recent concert, he confidently brushed off rumors of his retirement and declared to the audience, "We ain't quitting!"
The crowd erupted in applause as Bruce continued, "We ain't doing no farewell tour bullshit! Jesus Christ, farewell to what? A thousand people screaming your name? Get the hell out. I ain't going anywhere!" You tell 'em, Bruce!
In case you missed it, here's a clip from that epic moment. Just a heads up, there's some explicit language.

So, it's safe to say that Bruce is not planning on retiring anytime soon. He kicked off his world tour in February 2023, but had to take a break between September and December for treatment of peptic ulcer disease. Despite resuming the tour in March, he faced another setback in May and June due to vocal issues.
And let's not forget, Bruce also battled Covid last year and was forced to miss the 2023 American Music Honors Awards show. But he still made an appearance via video with his wife, Patti Scialfa. Host Jon Stewart tried to make light of the situation, joking, "They're alive. Don't overreact. You can still see them in concert. They're home sitting by the fire eating French onion soup."
Currently, Bruce is on the final leg of his tour, which will end in Vancouver in November. However, he has rescheduled four of his postponed European shows for May and July 2025. And according to his guitarist Steven Van Zandt, this may not be the end for Bruce and the E Street Band.
"I don't see the end anywhere in sight, to be honest, especially in Europe, where we're bigger than we've ever been," he said in an interview with The Telegraph. "I think we can play every summer forevermore, man. I love that the Stones are still out there. Because as long as they're out there, man, we're still the new kids on the block, right? So I'm good with that."
