You would think that this happened when Springsteen was an anonymous little boy, but he was 27 years old at the time and already a well-known singer. One April night in 1976, he jumped onto the mansion’s ground and made a run for the front door. Security guards stopped him at the entrance and kicked him out. Elvis wasn’t even at the house at the time, so Bruce risked it all for nothing.
