Bruce Springsteen on the Death of Japanese Promoter Mr. Udo
I was saddened to learn today of the death of our extraordinary Japanese promoter, Seijiro Udo, at 92. He was known to all of us as “Mr. Udo,” and he was simply one of a kind. A perfect host and gracious guide to his beloved Japan, he was always dressed in his signature perfectly tailored suit and tie no matter the occasion. He was also a brilliant and driven concert promoter who took extraordinary care with even the tiniest details, an absolute master of his profession. Along with tour leaders Jon Landau and George Travis, I extend our deepest condolences to his family and dedicated team. He will be missed,
Bruce
