These are the victory laps. I can make any kind of music I want."I'm not worried about whether I'm going to be competing with 50 Cent. All that pressure is off."Springsteen is currently on a sold-out world tour and will play two shows at London's Emirates Stadium, the home ground of soccer team Arsenal, on Friday (30.05.08) and Saturday (31.05.08).Springsteen - whose career spans four decades - has won several Grammy Awards. In 1993 he was awarded the Best Song Oscar for 'Streets of Philadelphia' which soundtracked the critically-acclaimed Tom Hanks movie 'Philadelphia'.(C) BANG Media International
