BRAVE BRUCE IS CHEATING DEATH!

Lifestyle overhaul after health disasters pile-up

BORN to Run rocker Bruce Springsteen’s galloping, outta-control lifestyle was about to end his fabulous career — and threatened to put him in a grave — but sources say an agonizing health crisis scared him straight and saved his life!

“He’s made some serious life changes, totally cleaned up his diet and cut out all the booze. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to get his health back,” snitches a source.

The New Jersey hellion, who sources say had been guzzling like there’s no tomorrow and neglecting his health, suddenly realized his life was on the line last year when he was forced to cancel a slew of U.S. concerts due to a crippling, agonizing peptic ulcer.

The Dancing in the Dark hitmaker was clobbered into cold reality when faced with the grim fact that he might never sing again because of the pain caused by his ulcer.
