Bruce Springsteen Opens Up About His First and Last Karaoke Experience

Springsteen recently addressed his karaoke ban. The 76-year-old “Born in the U.S.A.” star told the anecdote on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” with Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere actor Jeremy Allen White.

Springsteen shared his first and last karaoke night in the interview. He was convinced that the crowd would recognize him and cheer as he sang. His hopes failed. People thought he was taking the mic for fun without knowing who was performing. Springsteen grinned at how his expectation of a loud crowd diminished whe

n people saw him as a karaoke singer. Depressed by the unexpected response, he never tried karaoke again.

Before Springsteen spoke, Jeremy Allen White described his filming as the singer. Springsteen’s Asbury Park hangout Stone Pony was used for a major moment. White estimated 300 background actors, mostly from New Jersey and aware of Springsteen’s influence on local music, were on set that day. The actress claimed filming was thrilling and nerve-wracking due to the crowd’s excitement.

Jimmy Kimmel asked White to sing Springsteen at karaoke. The actor said Kimmel provided him “nightmare fuel.”

The meeting evoked nostalgia, laughter, and biopic excitement. Springsteen’s life and legacy will be analyzed in the October 24 theatrical film Deliver Me From Nowhere. Film songs show Springsteen’s career passion and emotional depth.

Bruce Springsteen’s national TV narrative demonstrated his likeability. Fans may never see him sing karaoke. He demonstrates humility and humor in unexpected situations, showing not all stages are for rock stars.
