Next Saturday, December 15 Bruce Springsteen will play his last of 236 Springsteen On Broadway shows at Walter Kerr Theatre on Broadway in New York City. The Boss recently spoke with The Times about the run, politics and his future plans. Springsteen excited fans by implying he would tour with the E Street Band in 2019. However, Bruce just issued a statement walking back “the rumors” and made it clear the band will have to wait until at least 2020.

The New Jersey native said “he’ll be getting back to his day job next year,” which The Times noted as the release of a new album and a tour with the E Street Band including UK dates. While Springsteen fans were jubilant with excitement about the return of their beloved band, guitarist Stevie Van Zandt took to Twitter to state “There are no plans for E Street Touring in 2019 right now.”

This evening, Bruce Springsteen made it clear Van Zandt was right. “Just a note to quell some of the rumors over here on E Street,” The Boss began. “While we hope to be back with you soon, the E Street Band won’t be touring in 2019.” Springsteen went on to say he’ll be taking a well deserved break and will spend time dealing with “various recording projects I’ve been working on.” Here’s the full statement from Bruce Springsteen:
