Rock legend Bruce Springsteen - also known as The Boss to his legion of loyal fans - has turned 60. He celebrated his birthday yesterday, 23rd September.The prolific singer-songwriter has been a permanent figure on the music *landscape since the early Seventies. His first album, Born to Run, *released in August 1975, is considered by fans to be one of his greatest *achievements. But the singer is probably more widely recognised for his commercially and critically acclaimed 1984 hit album Born in the USA.

- He sold more than 65 million albums in America alone, and 120 million worldwide.
