Bruce Springsteen’s Mother Adele Dies at 98; He Pays Tribute With Lyrics From ‘The Wish’
Adele Springsteen, Bruce Springsteen's mother, died Wednesday at 98 and her son posted a tribute on Instagram.
Born Adele Zerilli in Brooklyn on May 4, 1925, she moved to Freehold, N.J. in 1940, where she and husband Doug Springsteen raised three children, Virginia, Bruce and Pamela. In later years, the Springsteen matriarch cut a mean rug at her son’s shows, joining him on stage at the Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia for “Dancing in the Dark” and shaking a tailfeather to “Ramrod” at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Adele Springsteen loved to dance, and her Rock and Roll Hall of Famer son obliged often, taking her to local Jersey spots like The Wonder Bar in Asbury Park for a night out watching Eddie Testa or other entertainment.
