Bruce Springsteen’s mother Adele has died after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. She was 98.

The rock-and-roll star, 74, announced the devastating news of his mother’s passing on Thursday with a tribute on his personal Instagram account, which began with the date of her birth and her death.

“Adele Springsteen – May 4, 1925-January 31, 2024,” the post began. “I remember in the morning mom hearing your alarm clock ring. 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 in a glance. We’ll find us a Little rock ‘n roll bar and we’ll go out and dance.”

More to come.
