Bruce Springsteen has begun work on a new studio album, which is due to be released in 2012.

An enduring global icon, Bruce Springsteen is preparing for a new phase in his life. Close friend - and E Street Band stalwart - Clarence Clements passed away earlier this year, following a battle with ill health.

Taking time off to re-focus, Bruce Springsteen recently played a handful of charity shows in the United States. Announcing a full European tour, the singer has now revealed that work is under way on a new album.

A statement was placed on his official website, which runs alongside photos of the legendary saxophonist. The message from Springsteen's camp runs as follows:

Well, things are starting to heat up down on E Street.

A lot of you have been hearing that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be on tour in 2012. That is absolutely correct. The European dates run from the middle of May until end of July and are being announced this week. Info on the US dates and the World tour dates will coming up shortly.

In addition, we want you to know that the music is almost done (but still untitled), we have almost settled on the release date (but not quite yet), and that we are all incredibly excited about everything that we're planning for 2012. That's all the info we have for right now, but we'll get back to you--real soon.
