Faith will be rewarded for fans of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

The band is getting back together, the Boss said during a Q&A at a screening of his film, “Western Stars,” Sept. 12 at the Toronto International Film Festival.

“We want the band to get back together,” said Springsteen to applause. “I've got some songs written for the band and I'd like to make a really good rock band record with the E Street Band.”

“We'll be seeing you.”

That's good news to E Street Band member Nils Lofgren.

“Every once in a while my lovely wife will say, ‘the world sure needs an @springsteen #estreetband right about now’ couldn’t agree more,” said Lofgren in a reply to tweet that included a video of the Springsteen statement. “I’m ready.”

So is Amy Aiello Lofgren, Nils' wife.

'The kitchen remodel is a go. Thanks @springsteen Good news!” tweeted Amy, having some fun with the thread, which became quite lively on Saturday, Sept. 14.

The Springsteen comments in Toronto echo what the Boss told an audience at the Netflix Emmy Awards’ “FYSee Experience” in May in Los Angeles.

“About a month or so ago, I wrote almost an album’s worth of material for the band,” Springsteen said. “And it came out of just … I mean, I know where it came from, but at the same time, it just came out of almost nowhere. And it was good, you know. I had about two weeks of those little daily visitations, and it was so nice.”

“It makes you so happy. You go, ‘(Blank), I’m not (blanked), all right?’ There’ll be another tour!”

Upcoming is the filmed version of “Western Stars,” a Springsteen solo record inspired by the Southern California sounds of the early '70s. The movie, co-directed by Thom Zimny and Springsteen, hits theaters on Oct. 25 and preview showings are scheduled for Oct. 19 and 23 via www.fathomevents.com.
