ROCK HALL BRINGING BRUCE DOC TO SCREENING SERIES

What's the next best thing to watching a Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band documentary from the comfort of your home? How about viewing it in the same room as The Boss himself?

That's on the docket later this month as part of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Screening Series, which will host private, invitation-only showings of the Springsteen film Road Diary on 10/15 at New York's Museum of Modern Art and 10/21 at Los Angeles' David Geffen Theater at the Motion Picture Academy.

Both events will be followed by a conversation with Springsteen, longtime manager Jon Landau and Road Diary director Thom Zimny, moderated by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation Chairman John Sykes. HITS' inane inquiries about the ageless Springsteen's health and wellness regimen have already been rejected.

Road Diary chronicles E Street's return to the road after a six-year break. In it, Springsteen's wife and bandmate, Patti Scialfa, reveals publicly for the first time that she is suffering from the blood cancer multiple myeloma, which led to her largely retiring from live performance.

The doc premieres 10/25 on Hulu and Disney+.

Meanwhile, this year's Rock Hall induction will transpire 10/19 in Cleveland, with Peter Frampton, Mary J. Blige, Cher, the Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Kool & the Gang, Ozzy Osbourne and A Tribe Called Quest all set for enshrinement.
