Bruce Springsteen fans in Marseilles, Milan and Prague didn’t let The Boss’ recent concert cancellations keep them from celebrating his music. While Springsteen’s shows didn’t go on as planned in those cities, fans there still found a way to enjoy his songs. Spontaneous singalongs took place in city squares and on the streets, with video footage of those festivities finding their way to Springsteen himself.

“It’s Bruce Springsteen, calling from the wild lands of New Jersey, where I’m just getting over my vocal bug,” Springsteen shared in an Instagram video. “I have to apologize again for missing those concerts. But more importantly than that, I have to thank our incredible fans in the cities of Marseilles and Milan and Prague for their beautiful serenading when we weren’t feeling so good. It was really touching, deeply emotional, and it’s something I won’t forget. We will be back and we will give you the show of your lives. Thank you very much!” (Ultimate Classic Rock)
