Hosted by Jon Stewart, the tribute recognizes Springsteen's extraordinary creative accomplishments as well as his significant charitable work, and features Bruce and the E Street Band in addition to more than a dozen performances of Springsteen's work by other artists.
Viewers will see Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Elton John, Sting, Patti Smith, John Legend, Kenny Chesney and more deliver unique versions of Springsteen classics before the honoree hits the stage with the E Street Band to close the show.
