Bruce Springsteen is working on a new solo album and will tour without E Street Band

The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, during a recente interview broadcasted on SiriusXM’s E Street Radio, broke some juicy news. Indeed he explained his plans for 2016, which involve a tour with his E Street Band to support their the new reissue of "The River", a new solo album and another tour - alone - to support it.

He told:

The project I've been working on is more of a solo project. It wasn't a project I was going to probably take the band out on. So I said, 'Gee, that's going to push the band playing again until a ways in the future.' It'll be nice to get some playing in so you don't wind up being two or three years between E Street tours. This will give us a chance to get out there and stretch our muscles a little bit.

Springsteen also revealed that he had no plan to tour behind the reissue of "The River":

We made the box set and there was no plan to tour. Then we felt, ‘Maybe we should do a show just to raise the flag and have some fun and make it a little more exciting.’ I said. ‘Okay, maybe we’ll do a show in New York.’ Then that went quick to, ‘Maybe we should do a couple of shows.’ Then it turns into, ‘Maybe we should do a small series of shows, basically one-nighters, with maybe a little bit around the country.
