During a live interview on the “3rd Hour of Today” show, Rick Springfield caught the attention of host Craig Melvin by yawning while he was talking about his career and current tour.
The unusual moment happened about a minute after the conversation began, when Springfield interrupted and joked with the host. Melvin tried to justify it by saying he had coughed, but became the target of laughter from the panelists.
Despite the awkwardness, the conversation continued in a relaxed tone, with Springfield promoting his new hits album and the I Want My ’80s Tour.

The 75-year-old singer also shared a memorable episode from his life: a seven-meter fall during a show in Las Vegas in 2000. The accident, caused by a malfunction in stage equipment, resulted in a broken wrist and years later, a brain injury detected by medical exams. According to Springfield, doctors are only monitoring his condition, and he remains professionally active.
Excited about new projects, the artist revealed he is working on a new album that promises to be more intense and personal. He said he composes using guitar, keyboard, and a recorder, always with headphones to spare his wife from repeated melodies. For Springfield, music remains both therapy and passion, and his creative energy shows that despite challenges, he stays strong on the road.
