The Born to Run singer will be honoured for his musical genius and his charity work by the MusiCares Foundation - a non-profit organisation established in 1989 by the Recording Academy - at their 23rd annual ceremony on February 8 2013.
Neil Portman, Academy and MusiCares' president and CEO said: "Bruce Springsteen is a truly gifted and Renaissance artist of our time, a national treasure, and an exemplary humanitarian.
