Bruce Springsteen Visiting Tattered Cover After Owner's Passionate Plea

DENVER (AP) — Bruce Springsteen is stopping in Denver as part of a nationwide tour promoting his new autobiography "Born to Run".

Tickets to the noon event at Tattered Cover Book Store on Wednesday sold out fast and the shop is warning that anyone without a ticket won't get a chance to see the Boss.

The bookstore posted a YouTube video earlier this year urging Springsteen to visit during his book tour with the new incoming co-owner, Len Vlahos, playing guitar and singing "Growin' Up" while walking through the store.

In the book, Springsteen remembers his childhood in New Jersey, his rise to superstardom and personal struggles that inspired songs such as "Born to Run" and "Thunder Road."
