TOUGH guy rocker Bruce Springsteen confesses he’s had a long struggle with mental illness after a shocking crack-up when he was 32 years old!

Now 69, the Born in the U.S.A. singer says his emotional collapse had been building all his life and ties it to his relationship with the blue-collar dad he idolized. His father, Doug, never told him “I love you,” and that broke Bruce’s heart.

As a result, The Boss hardened himself — and cut himself off from love.
