NEW YORK/NASHVILLE (Billboard) - In what promises to fulfill a classic rock fan's dream, Bruce Springsteen (news) says he and the E Street Band will play with John Fogerty (news) on the upcoming Vote for Change tour.
"We're gonna back John," Springsteen told Jay Lustig in Thursday's edition of New Jersey's Star-Ledger newspaper. "John's coming, he doesn't have a band right now, so we're gonna do our best for him."
Asked if he would be on stage for that part of the show, Springsteen said, "Are you kidding me? I'm going to be playing those John Fogerty songs. You better believe it."
The five shows they'll play together will kick off Oct. 1 in Philadelphia and also feature R.E.M (news - web sites). and indie rock act Bright Eyes on the bill.
