Ever wondered how Bruce Springsteen has kept his band, the E Street Band, together for over five decades? Well, he spilled the beans at a recent event in London. The 75-year-old rockstar, who's worth over a billion dollars, admitted that paying his band members well is key to their longevity. "I pay them a lot, " he said, "That keeps things running smoothly. "

But it's not just about the money. Springsteen also believes in being a good boss. "You have to cast your band right, " he said. "If the music, the art, and the band are on point, you'll play every night like it's your last. " This philosophy has kept the E Street Band together, despite changes in their lineup over the years.

Springsteen's bandmate, Stevie Van Zandt, agrees. He said that the band has always focused on the music, not the money. "It's been an artistic adventure from the start, " he said. "We found some commercial success along the way, but that wasn't our goal. "

The new documentary, "Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band, " premiering on Hulu and Disney+, shows the rewards of a band sticking together. "Most bands break up, " Springsteen said. "We're trying to beat the odds. "
