The bard of rock music is getting ready to share his story… and admit he is now part of the "one percent". (Sorry, Bernie Sanders)

Bruce Springsteen is reportedly writing his autobiography and getting a $10 million payday for it. The book is due out in late September, about the same time as the Jersey rocker's 67th birthday.

The project was on the table four years ago, but then Pete Townsend and Neil Young dropped books, so the singer shelved his.

"Writing about yourself is a funny business," Springsteen said in a statement that will appear in his book. "But in a project like this, the writer has made one promise, to show the reader his mind. In these pages, I've tried to do this."

I'm kind of curious in the project as Springsteen has often hinted that some of his songs are autobiographical in nature, and it will interesting to see how much he reveals about those songs and how they came about.

Springsteen also admits the wealth resulting from his subsequent fame has made him a bit uneasy.

“I’m terribly burdened at night when I’m sleeping in my big house — it’s killing me, it’s a rough life, a brutal life,” he joked to Britain's Daily Mail. “No, it’s a blessed life, it lets me have a conversation with my ­audience about things I’m interested in.”

Springsteen may have been prodded to finish writing his story after his longtime aide Obie Dziedzic announced last spring that she was writing a memoir about life with the Boss and the E Street Band. Dziedzic, considered  the hall of famer’s “No. 1 fan,’’ helped the musician purchase his first car and first house, and got him to eat a healthier diet of vegetables and salad.
