Bruce Springsteen made a surprise appearance on Monday night at Stand Up for Heroes, a charity event in New York City honoring veterans and their families.
It was a rare live appearance for the Boss, who has had to postpone a number of tour dates as he undergoes treatment for peptic ulcer disease.
Springsteen performed solo at the NYC event, as well as with John Mellencamp. The pair performed their 2022 collaboration “Wasted Days.” (The track appeared on Mellencamp’s album early last year, Strictly a One-Eyed Jack, which features two other Springsteen cameos, “Did You Say Such a Thing” and “A Life Full of Rain.”)
