Dave Marsh, a renowned music critic and biographer known for his influential works on Bruce Springsteen, has passed away at the age of 76. Marsh succumbed to a degenerative brain disease in Connecticut on Friday, according to his friend Jeffrey St. Clair. Springsteen expressed his grief in an Instagram post, calling Marsh a "true Rock 'n' Roll lifer" and praising his opinionated, passionate, and argumentative nature.

Springsteen's longtime manager and record producer, Jon Landau, was also a subject of Marsh's early biographies, particularly his 1979 book, "Born to Run: The Bruce Springsteen Story." Marsh's friendship with Springsteen extended beyond their professional relationship; they were married in 1979, with Springsteen even attending their wedding.
