The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, made one young fan’s dream come true at a recent concert in San Francisco. During the show, an 11-year-old student held up a sign that read, “SKIPPING SCHOOL SIGN MY NOTE?” Springsteen noticed the sign and graciously signed an absence slip for the young fan, excusing her from school the following day.
The note, which was already partially filled out by the student, read, “Sorry I missed school yesterday. I went with my parents and my sister to see the Heart-Stopping, Pants-Dropping, Earth-Shocking, Hard-Rocking, Booty-Shaking, Earthquaking, Love Making, History-Making Legendary Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. From Genevieve.”
A video posted on Facebook captured the heartwarming moment, showing Springsteen kneeling to sign the note before blowing a kiss to the young fan and the crowd. The exchange took place after the E Street Band’s encore, which included fan favorites like “Twist and Shout” and “I’ll See You In My Dreams.”
This touching gesture from Springsteen comes after he had to postpone and cancel some tour dates due to health issues. Despite the challenges he has faced, Springsteen continues to connect with his fans and spread joy through his music.
Fans of The Boss were thrilled to see him back on stage, and the E Street Band tour resumed in March. The power of music and the bond between artists and their fans was on full display at this unforgettable concert moment.
