Missed Awards Show

People is reporting:

The rocker, 73, and wife Patti Scialfa, 69, both tested positive for COVID over the weekend.  It was just hours after wrapping a hometown show in their native New Jersey Friday night.

Springsteen and Scialfa were slated to attend the first American Music Honors awards show on Saturday night, but were unable to due to the virus, according to Variety.

In spite of his illness, Springsteen was able to tape two videos to present awards to Darlene Love and Stevie Van Zandt, his fellow E Street Band member, per Variety.

Next Leg

Bruce wrapped up the first leg of the North American tour last Friday to his hometown crowd of New Jersey. It was his first Jersey show in SEVEN years!

15 Songs Bruce Springsteen Has Opened With In Boston Since 2003

  • “Darkness On The Edge of Town”, February 19th & 20th, 2003 – Somerville Theatre

    The closing track of the 1978 classic, he opened both nights with this when he played the 900-capacity intimate venue.

  • “The Promised Land”, August 1, 2003 – Gillette Stadium

    Another dip into the Darkness On The Edge of Town. This was an appropriate greeting with the Patriots in pre-season, kicking off what would be a Super Bowl season.

  • “Adam Raised a Cain”, August 2, 2003 – Gillette Stadium

    A hard-driving story gets this Saturday evening, and night number two off to a rocking start. Another song from Darkness on the Edge of Town.

  • “Diddy Wah Diddy”, September 6th and 7th, 2003 – Fenway Park

    About a month after playing at the home of the Patriots, Springsteen pays a visit to the Red Sox home. Preceded by an organ version of  “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” by Danny Federici. The Boss comes out swinging the first time he steps up to the Fenway plate.

  • “My Beautiful Reward”, May 20, 2005 – Orpheum Theatre

    Consider yourself at the center of Lucky Town if you were at Boston’s Orpheum Theatre this Friday night. The “Devils and Dust” tour was filled with unique moments like this where the wind was at your back.

  • “Idiot's Delight”, October 28, 2005 – TD Garden

    A week prior to the Celtics home-openers, a  Joe Grushecky & the Houserockers cover launches what would be a 26-song night.

  • “My Beautiful Reward”, October 30, 2005 – TD Garden

    It takes a special kind of artist to have a song flexible enough that it can open both a small-room show and a massive arena. Springsteen is one of those select artists.

  • “Radio Nowhere”, November 18th and 19th 2007 – TD Garden

    The boss was feeling the rhythm. The opening track to Springsteen’s 2007 record, Magic, is also the opening song both nights of this tour.

  • “Summertime Blues”, August 2, 2008 – Gillette Stadium

    An Eddie Cochran cover starting off this evening in Foxboro is actually quite the cure for any summertime blues.

  • “Badlands”, April 21st and 22nd, 2009 – TD Garden

    Well, lights out tonight. Four out of the ten Darkness on the Edge of Town now serve as Boston show openers.

  • “We Take Care of Our Own”, March 26, 2012 – TD Garden

    The first single off Wrecking Ball served as the opening song for much of the Wrecking Ball Tour. Over 130 shows across 26 countries were treated to this timely chant.

  • “The Promised Land”, August 14, 2012 – Fenway Park

    The first song at the home of the Patriots is also the first song at the home of the Red Sox. The Boss’s first show at Fenway Park salutes the faithful.

  • “Thunder Road”, August 15, 2012 – Fenway Park

    Night number two starts off on a more melodic and intimate note. Just a voice and a piano ease a sold-out crowd into a 30-song performance.

  • “My Love Will Not Let You Down”, August 18, 2012 – Fenway Park

    And neither will opening with a Born in the U.S.A. outtake that appears on the Tracks box set.

  • “Meet Me In The City”, February 4, 2016 – TD Garden

    An appropriate ask from the Boss. This was the opening song the last time Springsteen played the TD Garden.

  • “New York City Serenade”, September 14, 2016 – Gillette Stadium

    The opening song the last time Springsteen played in the area, and two days before the Patriots would play their home opener in a Super Bowl winning season.
