According to reports, Bruce Springsteen is ready to immerse himself in the music business in 2012 after a two-year hiatus. The singer is reportedly wrapping up in the studio on what will be his 17th studio album, and hopes to have it in stores early next year. To support the release, The Boss will take his E Street Band out on a trek that will last through most of next year, beginning with a two month US arena trip in March, including a stop at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, where Springsteen has been tapped to deliver the keynote address.
