Doncs apa, sembla que la maquinària s’ha tornat a posat en marxa. No fa ni quinze dies que en Bruce anunciava al seu lloc web el següent:
Well, things are starting to heat up down on E Street.
A lot of you have been hearing that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be on tour in 2012. That is absolutely correct. Here's the European itinerary. Info on the US dates and the World tour dates will coming up shortly.
In addition, we want you to know that the music is almost done (but still untitled), we have almost settled on the release date (but not quite yet), and that we are all incredibly excited about everything that we're planning for 2012. That's all the info we have for right now, but we'll get back to you--real soon.

Un dels temes que manté a tots els seguidors expectants és qui substituirà al malaguanyat Clarence Clemons (que va morir el passat 18 de juny). Hi ha diverses opcions, però a hores d’ara el rumor que agafa força és que serà Alto Reed. L’Alto és el saxofonista de Bob Seeger & The Silver Bullet Band i ha actuat amb diversos músics i bandes al llarg de la seva dilatada carrera professional: Foghat, Grand Funk, Little Feat, Otis Rush, Enchantment, Jamie Oldaker, George Terry, Dave Mason, Spencer Davis, Tico Torres, Dan Aykroyd, James Belushi, The Blues Brothers, The Ventures, George Thorogood…
Esperem que en propers dies els rumors es vagin transformant en notícies i anem coneixent el format de la Gira. Segurament pocs artistes tenen el valor avui en dia d'anunciar una gira mundial sense ni tant sols haver tret un disc nou...
