Bruce Springsteen

In 2005, Bruce Springsteen took the stage at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to induct U2, a band that has been pivotal in shaping rock music. This moment came right after the release of his critically acclaimed album 'Devils & Dust' in April 2005, showcasing his ability to blend storytelling with personal experiences. Springsteen's connection to U2 runs deeper than just their shared rock lineage; he's been a longstanding influence on Bono and the band. The ceremony not only highlighted U2's impact but also cemented Springsteen's role as a mentor and elder statesman in the rock world. While he praised U2 for their global activism and musical innovation, it was also a nod to his own journey through fame and artistry, making this induction a significant chapter in both of their legacies.
