Bruce Springsteen: An Illustrated Biography -- loaded with stage and candid photos of this peerless rock star, and made complete with removable memorabilia -- is the ultimate collector's item for any fan of The Boss. Through story, images, and removable memorabilia, Bruce Springsteen: An Illustrated Biography chronicles the life of The Boss--one of America's favorite rock stars and one of the biggest-selling artists in history . Springsteen's monolithic music career spans a full half-century, from 1968 to present, and has included dozens of tours, awards, and 20 Grammys. Incredibly, Springsteen's stage presence, star power, and musicianship is as strong as ever--he continues to consistently sell out live musical performances. This book showcases Springsteen's life , both on and off the stage. With a new chapter covering Springsteen on Broadway , a new cover, and a redesign of an envelope to deliver the interactive memorabilia --such as Springsteen's draft card that saved him from being shipped off to Vietnam, a concert poster for Dr. Zoom and the Sonic Boom, a Rolling Stone magazine cover, a promotional sticker, and more--this reissue offers fans an intimate look into the life of this beloved artist.
