Adele Springsteen, Bruce Springsteen's mother, passed away on Wednesday, as per the Hollywood Reporter.
She was 98. The 74-year-old rock icon took to Instagram on Friday to announce the news. He posted a vintage video of him dancing to a recording of Glenn Miller's 'In the Mood' with his mother. https://www.instagram.com/p/C20aKzMIGVW/ "Adele Springsteen - May 4, 1925-January 31, 2024," he captioned the clip. "I remember in the morning Mom hearing your alarm clock ring," he wrote in his post. "I'd lie in bed and listen to you getting ready for work, the sound of your makeup case on the sink. And the ladies at the office all lipstick, perfume and rustling skirts, how proud and happy you always looked walking home from work. "It ain't no phone call on Sunday, flowers or a Mother's Day card," he continued. "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 at a glance. We'll find us a little rock 'n' roll bar and we'll go out and dance." Adele leaves behind two daughters, Pamela and Virginia, in addition to Bruce. Adele married Douglas Springsteen, their father, in 1948; he passed away in 1998, as per the Hollywood Reporter. Adele, a native of Brooklyn, New York, was a devoted supporter of her son's music and occasionally danced with him on stage during his performances. "My mother loves to dance," Bruce once said in a July 2021 Broadway performance. "She grew up in the '40s ... [with] the big bands and the swing bands, and that was a time when dancing was an existential act." "She's 95 and she's 10 years into Alzheimer's and that's taken a lot away from us," he continued at the time. "But the need to dance hasn't left her." (ANI)
