Bruce Springsteen and John Mellencamp were once again spotted together — this time on September 16th in Bay Head, New Jersey. The two working class rock legends posed for a picture with a fan on a boardwalk and were seen enjoying lunch together at the local Duyne Grass Cafe.
According to industry sources, Mellencamp has been filming with Springsteen in New Jersey either for their collaborations on Mellencamp’s upcoming album — or something else. Last April, “The Boss” was spotted out to dinner with Mellencamp in his hometown of Bloomington, Indiana after laying down guitar and vocals on Mellencamp’s still-untitled 25th album.
FAST FACTS
- Back in February, John Mellencamp posted on his official website: “Mellencamp will soon return to the studio to finish recording his 25th album. Prior to the onset of the global pandemic, he has already cut 10 tracks and plans to record another 17 for the project.”
- No release date was announced.
