TOM MORELLO To Play In BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN's Band In Australia

January 18, 2013

According to The Pulse Of Radio, guitarist Tom Morello from RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE will fill in for Steve Van Zandt during BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND's Australian tour. Rolling Stone reported that Van Zandt will be previously engaged shooting his Netflix series, "Lillyhammer", and Morello will sub during the nine-date trek, which kicks off on March 14 in Boondall, Australia. Van Zandt will be back on board on April 29 when the tour hits Fornebu, Norway.

Morello and Springsteen have had an active recent history, with Morello often popping up at Springsteen gigs and playing incendiary solos on Springsteen's 1995 classic "The Ghost Of Tom Joad" — which RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE covered in 2000.

Morello was featured on two cuts from Springsteen's most recent album, "Wrecking Ball", called "Jack of All Trades" and "This Depression".

He also sat in with Springsteen during his most recent appearance on NBC's "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" and at The Boss' March appearance in Austin the night of his keynote address at South By Southwest.

Morello will be among the musicians paying tribute to Springsteen on February 8, when he's honored as the 2013 MusiCares Person Of The Year in L.A.
