Bruce Springsteen 'to publish diaries'

Bruce Springsteen is to include extracts from his diaries in a forthcoming book about his life.

The rock icon is said to have kept journals throughout his career and is now planning to use his old entries as the basis for a new autobiography.

The 60-year-old is also expected to spark a bidding war for the rights to his tome. Publishers have been predicted to pay as much as $10m (£6.25m).

A source told the New York Post: "It could be the biggest rock music autobiography of all time. He could get $9m to $10m for the world rights."
