JAKARTA - Bruce Springsteen also commented on the death of Liam Payne, who was found falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Wednesday, October 16.

The 75-year-old singer highlighted how so many musicians died at a young age.

"That's a common thing," said Bruce Springsteen regarding Liam Payne's death at a young age, citing The Telegraph, Sunday, October 20.

Bruce said the music industry put a lot of pressure on musicians. And many young musicians can't overcome the pressure.

"This business puts great pressure on young people. Young people do not yet have the inner ability or identity to be able to protect themselves from many things that accompany success and fame," said Bruce.

"So, they get lost in many things that are difficult and often painful, whether it's drugs or alcohol to defuse some of that pressure," he continued.

The 'Born in the US' singer did not speak carelessly. He admitted that he had faced great pressure when he was young. He and his bandmates have struggled with their own problems".

"I understand that very well," said Bruce.

"Danny (Federici) of course did it. Drugs are not a strange thing in the E Street Band. But there are limits, I don't interfere in your business. But if I were on stage and I saw you weren't fully yourself, there would be a problem," he added.

Bruce also gave an example of several musicians who died at a young age after being unable to face pressure in the industry, such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain.

"People keep falling into it. It's a death stream. It's a scam," he said.

"It's part of a story that deceive some young people, you know, but it's an old story, dying young is good for the record company, but what's the benefit for you?" concluded Bruce Springsteen.
