Bruce Springsteen is Surpassingcelebrating a life well lived.
The "Dancing in the Dark" singer shared a heartfelt tribute to his mother, Adele Springsteen, who died on Jan. 31. She was 98.
Alongside a video of his late mother dancing shared to his Instagram Feb. 1, Bruce penned lyrics from his song, "The Wish," which was a part of Springsteen on Broadway—a show that included themes surrounding his relationship with his mother.
"I remember in the morning mom hearing your alarm clock ring / I'd lie in bed and listen to you getting ready for work, the sound of your makeup case on the sink," he added. "And the ladies at the office all lipstick, perfume and rustling skirts, how proud and happy you always looked walking home from work."
The 74-year-old continued, "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."
Bruce—who shares children Evan, 33, Jessica, 32, and Samuel, 30, with wife Patti Scialfa—often brought up his mother's affinity for dancing when speaking about her publicly, even as she battled Alzheimer's disease later in her life.
"She's 10 years into Alzheimer's," he said at a 2021 performance of Springsteen on Broadway, per the New York Times. "But the need to dance, that need to dance is something that hasn't left her. She can't speak. She can't stand. But when she sees me, there's a smile."
