Bruce Springsteen flies nearly 3,000 miles to join Zach Bryan on stage in Brooklyn
Bruce Springsteen is flying high.
The Boss joined country star Zach Bryan, 27, on stage March 27 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Springsteen performed March 25 in San Diego with the E Street Band, and he's scheduled to play Thursday, March 28, at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
Springsteen and Bryan performed “Sandpaper” with Bryan's band, and they were joined by Maggie Rogers for the Bryan hit “Revival.” The Boss took a solo on guitar for the latter.
“Brooklyn let's go!” shouted Bryan during “Revival,” according to social media videos. Bryan, an Oklahoma native and a Navy vet, was wearing a Springsteen tour T-shirt.

Bryan’s The Quittin’ Time Tour was also a hit in New Jersey. Two shows at the Prudential Center in Newark broke that venue's attendance record with 18,641 fans on March 14, and 19,151 fans on March 15.
Springsteen and the E Street Band relaunched their tour March 19 at the Footprint Center in Phoenix after the Boss, 74, postponed shows in September due to a bout with peptic ulcer disease.
