Bruce Springsteen Invites 11 Year-Old Boy On Stage To Perform With Him - Watch Now

The Boss himself Bruce Springsteen made an 11 year-old boy’s dreams come true last night, after inviting him on stage during a performance Down Under.
The superstar was performing his track ‘Waiting on a Sunny Day’ when he invited the young lad - who was dressed in the same style as Springsteen’s ‘Born in the USA’ album cover - on stage to sing with him.
The performance - which you can see below - formed part of his first gigs in Australia for over 10 years, and even saw the pair carrying out a rockstar knee slide across the stage - something which the lucky boy will certainly never forget.
Writer Sean Sennett - posting via Springsteen’s website - wrote of the scenes: “One lucky boy ... mimicked Bruce's look from the cover of [Born In The USA] - with a red cap in his back pocket. It earned him a spot on the microphone during Waiting On A Sunny Day, which was only bettered by Bruce suggesting the pair embark on a knee slide in the song's final bars.”
He added: “Super cool: it's up there with the great knee slide from the Super Bowl.”
