The crowd welcomed the gesture. During his concert in San Francisco, California, on March 31, Bruce Springsteen did a great favor to one of his fans. Geneviève, 11 years old, who came to see the performance of the singer of “Born in the USA” with her family had anticipated the fact that the concert could drag on, making it difficult to get up the next day.
During the concert, she held up a sign “I'm skipping school, will you sign my note?” ". The rock star gladly answered his call. He signed his note to her, to applause, before blowing her a kiss. Another fan, Karen Pitcher Scovell, shared the images on Facebook which were picked up by ABC. " No words !!!!! Being so close to greatness was more than I expected, she commented. Bruce knelt in front of me to sign a truancy note for the little girl behind me...”.

This isn't the first time Bruce Springsteen has signed waivers for his fans. In 2016, a fan asked the same thing for his son, recalls Ultimate Classic Rock. The same year, another fan of the American singer had him sign a note apologizing for his lateness.
The tour of the man nicknamed “The Boss” was eagerly awaited across the Atlantic. Bruce Springsteen, 74, was forced to postpone dates last September because of a peptic ulcer. The American singer and his E Street Band made up of 17 musicians played to a sold-out crowd at the Chase center which can accommodate up to 18,000 people.
