In a heartfelt announcement on Bruce Springsteen's official Instagram account, it was revealed that his beloved mother, Adele Ann Springsteen, passed away on Wednesday. The legendary rocker paid a touching tribute to his mother by quoting lyrics from his song 'The Wish,' which beautifully encapsulate his cherished memories of their relationship.
Born as Adele Zerilli on May 4, 1925, in Brooklyn, Adele moved to Freehold, New Jersey, in 1940, where she and her husband Doug Springsteen raised their three children – Virginia, Bruce, and Pamela. Adele, of Italian descent, instilled in Springsteen the values of their Catholic faith, and they would frequently attend mass together at St. Rose of Lima Church in Freehold.
