WATCH: Bruce Springsteen invites boy in audience onstage to sing 'Growin' Up'
He may be in trouble for skipping school, but he'll be counting his lucky stars now!
American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen was playing a show in Brisbane, Australia, when he called up an 11-year-old boy onstage to sing with him.
Melanie J.S.B, who posted the video on YouTube, wrote:
'The teen was called up on stage to sing to a crowd of adoring fans after holding up a sign requesting to share a song with The Boss. Springsteen read the sign:
'"Missed school, in the s– now, can I play Growin' Up with you?" out loud to the masses.'
'"Do you know the song?" Springsteen called out to the teen. "You know it on guitar?...Well come on up!"'
The boy, who someone later found out to be 11-year-old Nathan Testa, raced to the stage and was handed a guitar as Springsteen offered him the mic to share.
A little while into the performance, Springsteen asked Nathan to play softer, and told him he was about his age when he got his first guitar.
"I brought it home and I realised it wasn't about how well you played it, it was about how good you looked doing it," he said.
"So I got in front of the mirror and I tried out some poses."
We bet he made that kid's year!
