Springsteen, known as “The Boss,” has long symbolized the American working class, while De Niro, a two-time Academy Award winner, has been vocal about political and societal concerns. Both hinted that inflammatory rhetoric and personal attacks influenced their decisions.
Springsteen expressed sadness over losing the nation’s core values, while De Niro condemned the normalization of public disrespect. Neither has disclosed their destination, though Springsteen may move to Europe, and De Niro is rumored to be considering Italy, his ancestral homeland.
The decision has sparked mixed reactions, with fans expressing sorrow and critics urging them to stay and fight for change. Their departure highlights a broader debate on America’s cultural and political landscape, raising questions about unity and the state of the nation.
