Bruce Springsteen's Manager Jon Landau Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Springsteen Pays Tribute to Longtime Manager
Bruce Springsteen inducted his manager, Jon Landau, into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday with the rare honor of receiving the Ahmet Ertegun Award.
In his speech, Springsteen praised Landau for his unwavering support and guidance throughout his career. "Jon has been there for me through thick and thin," Springsteen said. "He's more than just a manager, he's a friend and a brother."
Landau, who has managed Springsteen since 1972, was instrumental in launching the singer's career. He helped Springsteen sign with Columbia Records and produced some of his most iconic albums, including "Born to Run" and "Darkness on the Edge of Town."
In recent years, Landau has also helped Springsteen navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. He worked with Springsteen to develop safety protocols for his Broadway show and helped him decide to cut his "Born to Run" tour short due to the surge in COVID-19 cases.
Springsteen's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a fitting tribute to his enduring career. He is one of the most successful and respected musicians of all time, and Landau has played a key role in his success.
