Bruce Springsteen and Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama joined Bruce Springsteen to perform his song ‘Glory Days’ at a gig in Barcelona last night (April 28).

The former first lady sang and played a tambourine to the ‘Born In The U.S.A’ classic alongside Springsteen’s wife and E Street Band member Patti Scialfa, and actress Kate Capshaw.

As reported by Consequence, the previous night Springsteen, Scialfa, Capshaw and Capshaw’s husband, the director Steven Spielberg, dined with Barack and Michelle Obama at a restaurant in the Spanish city.

Springsteen and the Obamas’ relationship goes back to 2008 when Barack first ran for US president. The rock star played several of Obama’s early campaign rallies as well as his inauguration.

Springsteen also helped Barack during his 2012 re-election campaign by writing his official campaign theme song.
