Springsteen Extends Tour While Exclusive SIRIUS Channel Endures

Currently on tour in Europe, Bruce Springsteen, affectionately known as “The Boss” by his loyal fans, has decided to treat more of the stateside faithful to some additional tour dates when Springsteen and his E Street Band return.

Promoting their most recent album, Magic, the group’s current tour has so far grossed $84 million and packed in more than 800,000 fans. The new album has so far sold more than a million copies.

More good news for Springsteen fans comes from satellite radio broadcaster SIRIUS, which has recently announced that “E Street Radio” will continue to air until at least mid-2009.
