Bruce Springsteen says selling the rights to his extensive back catalogue in a multimillion-pound deal was “a timing thing” but that he still has no plans to retire.

The world-famous rocker said the sale to Sony Music Group in December last year “made sense”, adding that he knew his work would be looked after.
