A young fan was recently living one of her very own “Glory Days” at the conclusion of a Bruce Springsteen concert.
During the March 31 show at Chase Center in San Francisco, an 11-year-old student held up a poster that read, “SKIPPING SCHOOL SIGN MY NOTE?”
Springsteen noticed the young fan’s placard and very willingly penned the absence slip to excuse her from school the Monday following Easter Sunday.
Springsteen unfolded the notebook paper, grinned and held it up for fans to admire.
The paper already included the excuse from the student, Genevieve, to her teacher, and the script aligned perfectly with Springsteen’s typical concert romps.
It read, “To Mrs. Norman, 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.”
In a video posted to Facebook by concert-goer Karen Pitcher Scovell, Springsteen is seen kneeling to sign the girl’s school note before blowing a kiss her way, bowing to the crowd and following the E Street Band offstage.
The post reads, “Bruce knelt down directly in front of me to sign a school excuse for the little girl behind me….”
“The crowd along with the E Street Band were all applauding and gave him a very long ovation,” Scovell told Fox News Digital of the “Dancing in the Dark” singer.
The exchange occurred after the E Street Band’s encore, which included a “Twist and Shout” request from a fan, and “I’ll See You In My Dreams.”
“I saw the girl at the very end of the show, and she was crying,” Scovell said. “They seemed to be sad [tears] and may have been related to hearing I’ll See You In My Dreams.”
The emotional song was written by Springsteen in dedication to his late friend, Michael Gudinski.
In early September, Springsteen announced the postponement of his concerts for the rest of the month due to symptoms from peptic ulcer disease.
An Instagram posted to Springsteen’s social media at the time read, “Over here on E Street, we’re heartbroken to have to postpone these shows.”
Later in September, the “Born to Run” performer announced he was canceling his tour for the rest of the year “on doctor’s advice.”
The E Street Band tour kicked off once again in March.
