ABC News has released a trailer for the primetime special, "Bruce Springsteen: Backstage and Backstreets," featuring a series of in-depth, wide-ranging interviews with rock musician Bruce Springsteen.
The special was filmed in anticipation of the release of Springsteen's forthcoming Hulu and Disney+ documentary Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band, which launches October 25 on both platforms.
For the primetime special, ABC News was granted unprecedented access to Springsteen, his team and the E Street Band over the course of several months while Springsteen was on tour. The special will air on ABC on October 20, at 10 p.m. EDT and streaming next day on Hulu and Disney+.
In the special, "Good Morning America" co-anchor George Stephanopoulos interviews Springsteen, who shares insights into his extraordinary career and personal reflections on the challenges he has faced. The special includes exclusive behind-the-scenes interviews from his concert in Washington, D.C., and moments from the Toronto Film Festival.
Springsteen also speaks openly for the first time about his health after rescheduling concerts last year, as well as the health challenges facing his wife and E Street Band member, Patti Scialfa. The special follows Springsteen to his beloved adopted hometown of Asbury Park, New Jersey, and includes a sit-down interview at The Stone Pony.
Stephanopoulos shared his excitement about the special, saying, "It's a privilege to have this rare access to Bruce Springsteen. His music has inspired so many, and getting to sit down with him for such intimate conversations reveals the man behind the legend. I can't wait for viewers to experience this special."
"Bruce Springsteen: Backstage and Backstreets" is produced by George Stephanopoulos Productions and ABC News Studios.
