On January 31, 2024, Bruce Springsteen gave fans a preview of his loving relationship with his mother, Adele Springsteen, through a heartbreaking Instagram post.

He shared a short video of his mom dancing accompanied by the announcement of her passing and a glimpse of how he remembers her in the caption.

Born on May 4, 1925, Adele spent the last 13 years of her life with Alzheimer's. Her son revealed Adele's seventh-year mark dealing with the illness in 2018. However, he highlighted the energy and love she still had for dancing.

Moving her body to the beat of the music had become a part of Adele's being, such that her son made sure there was always music playing when she entered the door.

Adele had joined her son in the spotlight in previous concerts, dancing her heart out with Bruce by her side. In a 2012 concert, the two danced together on stage and had everyone applauding for them.

Like his mom, Bruce Springsteen had also battled health issues, including a recent peptic ulcer diagnosis that resulted in him postponing his shows. He also dealt with a previous throat surgery and mental health issues.
