In a surprising turn of events, former First Lady Michelle Obama joined rock icon Bruce Springsteen on stage during his concert in Barcelona, Spain (TODAY). Obama took on the role of a backup singer during a performance of Springsteen’s hit, “Glory Days,” which also featured actor Kate Capshaw (Vulture). The unexpected appearance by Michelle Obama left fans in awe, as she sang alongside the E Street Band (The Independent).
Obama wasn’t the only high-profile guest at the concert. Just one day prior, the Obamas, Steven Spielberg, and Kate Capshaw were spotted at Spain’s Montserrat Monastery after attending the Springsteen concert together (Fox News). Meanwhile, Obama, Springsteen, and Spielberg even delighted the staff of a Barcelona restaurant, Palace Hotel’s Amar, when they made a last-minute dinner reservation (The Guardian).
This particular concert has created a buzz not only for Michelle Obama’s presence but also for Springsteen’s performance in general. The artist has had a legendary career, with 21 studio albums, 23 live albums, and more than 150 million in sales to his name (Billboard). Recently, Springsteen returned to the New Jersey bedroom where he recorded much of his critically acclaimed album, “Nebraska” for an interview with CBS Sunday Morning (Rolling Stone).
