Bruce Springsteen has a greatest hits collection on the way

Bruce Springsteen has a greatest hits collection on the way.

The Boss has announced he will release the career-spanning ‘Best Of Bruce Springsteen’ on April 19.

Fans can expect songs from 1973’s ‘Greeting From Asbury Park, NJ’ all the way to 2020’s ‘Letter To You’.

The physical version contains 18 tracks, and 31 songs make up the digital release.

Meanwhile, Springsteen and his E Street Band are set to tour the UK and Ireland this year, including two nights at London’s Wembley Stadium in July.

In other news, Springsteen is said to have been hired as a consultant on a feature film about the making of his 1982 album ‘Nebraska’.

The 74-year-old rock legend was reportedly hired by ‘Black Mass’ director Scott Cooper, who is probably best known for his 2009 film ‘Crazy Heart’ starring Jeff Bridges as a washed-up country singer.

Showbiz 411 reported the rumoured collaboration and added: “Austin Butler is a possibility (to play Bruce) but after playing Elvis Presley he might not be the right choice.”

Sources also said Cooper does not have Timothée Chalamet in mind to play Springsteen, as the actor is about to play Bob Dylan in another film.

‘Nebraska’ was lauded as an introspective turn for the ‘Born to Run’ rocker, and is said to have been inspired by a bout of depression.
