'Magic' Rocks?

Ali Bongo, Paul Daniels, Gandalf, Merlin and now Bruce Springsteen! Magic. Nobody saw this title coming. Expect a lot of Bruce 'pulls a rabbit out of his hat'/'casts a spell' type puns in the press over the next month or so.

So what is the new album going to be like? It's all a bit of a mystery. Hopefully it's got nothing to do with that Oliva Newton John song from Xanadu (although that soundtrack CD is one of my 'guilty pleasures').

Magic is supposedly a more 'guitar driven' sound for Bruce than we've heard for a while - the E Street Band being heavily featured.

Release date: October 1st. Tour news will start appearing soon - at the moment it's odds on that the band will be playing at the O2 Arena, London in December. Photo Credit: Mark Seliger
