Bruce Springsteen Honors Mom, Adele Springsteen, After Her Death At 98

Bruce Springsteen‘s mother, Adele Ann Springsteen, died on January 31 at 98. The singer posted on Thursday to Instagram, sharing a video of him and his late mother dancing together.

Bruce included in the caption: “Adele Springsteen – May 4, 1925-January 31, 2024.” He also added lyrics from his 1998 song “The Wish,” which tells a fond story about his mother.

“It ain’t no phone call on Sunday, flowers or a Mother’s Day card. It ain’t no house on the hill with a garden and a nice little yard. I’ve got my hot rod down on Bond Street I’m older but you’ll know me in a glance. We’ll find us a little rock ‘n roll bar and we’ll go out and dance,” he wrote.

Bruce performed the song on Broadway in 2017 for his show, Springsteen on Broadway. The performance followed his autobiography and included many anecdotes and memories from his life.

Adele had been dealing with Alzheimer’s disease for a decade.

“She’s 95 and she’s ten years into Alzheimer’s and that’s taken a lot away from us. But the need to dance hasn’t left her,” he said.

Adele often joined Bruce on stage during shows and danced with her son. Adele’s cause of death was not confirmed by the singer.

Bruce is set to tour with the E Street band this spring.
