Yesterday, while performing ‘The Promised Land’ at Wembley Stadium with the E Street Band, Springsteen noticed a sign in the front row that read: “My boyfriend will propose if he can have your harmonica.”
After ripping through a tight rendition of ‘Promised Land’, which features the heavy use of a harmonica, Springsteen walked up to the couple and took the sign out of their hands, showing it to the camera. After a loud applause, Springsteen handed the couple his harmonica and shook their hands.

Other songs Springsteen performed at Wembley on Thursday – the first of his two shows – included ‘Born To Run’, ‘I’ll See You In My Dreams’, ‘Thunder Road’ and more. His next show at Wembley Stadium will take place on Saturday (July 27), and will close out the musician’s UK and Ireland tour.
In other news, Springsteen has officially reached billionaire status, with his net worth accelerating in the past few years. According to a recent estimate by Forbes, the Boss is apparently worth $1.1billion, following a six-decade career that’s seen him release 21 studio albums, seven live albums, and five EPs, selling over 140million albums globally.
NME caught Springsteen’s Hyde Park shows in July last year, giving it a full five stars: “A force of personality like no other, if Springsteen’s ultimate goal really is to change lives by night, then it’s mission accomplished here. Punctuated with lessons of life, love and loss, he’s hit another home run at Hyde Park.”
Springsteen’s forthcoming documentary Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band, has been confirmed to release on Disney+ and Hulu in October, although a firm release date has yet to be announced. The concert film will focus on Springsteen’s ongoing tour.
Springsteen also recently became the first international Fellow of the Ivor Novello Academy, following in the footsteps of Elton John, Kate Bush, Annie Lennox and Paul McCartney.
In his speech, the New Jersey rocker admitted “while I was stone-cold born in the USA, at 16 I desperately yearned to be British”: “I had a pretty good fake British accent – that’s what the checkout girls at the local supermarket thought. But I have had a lot of wonderful history here.”
