Fans, friends, family, and other musicians are mourning the death of Robbie Robertson, who recently passed away at the age of 80. More recently, music legend Bruce Springsteen did a big move during his concert to remember the iconic musician.
According to the Asbury Park Press, the singer and The E Street Band just began the second leg of their North American tour earlier this week at the Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois.
During the show, fans were surprised as he made a special move for Robbie Robertson for dedicating the closing track "I'll See You In My Dreams" to him.
"To my good friend Robbie Robertson," he told the crowd.
KSLX reported that the song revolves around the reflection of morality and death. It also features the closing lyrics about a departed loved one which reads, "For death is not the end. And I'll see you in my dreams."
This won't be the last time Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band would perform at the famed Chicago venue as they will return on August 11.
