Bruce Springsteen with Benjamin Fisher on stage

It would have been a proud moment for any father but for superfan Allan Fisher it was one neither he nor his son will ever forget.

For Allan, who has seen Bruce Springsteen perform 42 times, got to watch his seven-year-old son Benjamin sing with The Boss himself.

Benjamin, from Bridgend, was picked out of the crowd by Bruce to sing Waitin’ On A Sunny Day

The little boy is now a YouTube sensation after sharing the stage with the rock legend at his Cardiff gig on Tuesday night.

Just a few hours before the concert, Benjamin had told the Echo how he “loves Bruce Springsteen” and how he wanted to get on stage with him.

The little boy’s dream came true when he sat on the singer’s shoulder and sang his heart out to the crowd of thousands.

Allan, 42, said: “I was just in tears, I couldn’t help it. It was a very special moment that he’ll cherish more as he gets older.”

Allan said it was the best show of the 42 he has seen and said Benjamin going on stage was “the icing on the cake”.

Allan said: “When we walked back to the car everyone was stopping us to talk to Benjamin. It took us about half an hour to get back to the car.”

Allan, his wife Sharron and Benjamin, had been queuing for a space in the Millennium Stadium’s pit since Saturday.

They joined a group of die-hard fans and were allocated numbers seven, eight and nine in the queue.

The line up, which had reached more than 120 people by Sunday night, had regular roll calls in the days leading up to the show.

Luckily, Allan said they were able to get Benjamin to the queue ten minutes before each roll call and said he was back home with relatives in Cardiff a few minutes later.

Allan said: “I would never subject him to what I did. But because it was in Cardiff, and we have a base in Cardiff, we were able to do it. In between the roll calls, he was going swimming and to the park and just enjoying the summer holidays.”

He said: “If he [Springsteen] goes on tour next year, I won’t be able to take Benjamin. We’ve been able to have this week off and manage Benjamin thorough the process because it has been in Cardiff. Its been like three or four days of fun for him.”

As the first 100 people were allowed in to the pit by security at about 4.30pm on Tuesday, Allan said he and his family positioned themselves near the central podium which Springsteen graced many times during the show.

Wearing ear protectors throughout, the seven-year-old had a fold up stall to sit and stand on as well as plenty of food and drink.

Allan said they were able to top Benjamin up with a jam sandwich, drinks and a few sweets when he started flagging.

But Allan said most of the time Benjamin was jumping up and down with the rest of the fans in the pit.

Allan, who said Benjamin has grown up listening to a lot of The Boss’ songs, said: “I first saw him in 1985 when I was taken to a concert by my next door neighbour. I was 15. I’ve always wanted to take my family.”

It was also an unforgettable night for 19-year-old Rachel Meredith from Cardiff who danced on stage with the E Street Band towards the end of the show.

Rachel, who lives in Tremorfa, said: “It was the best night of my life.”

Tuesday night was Rachel’s sixth show after being introduced to The Boss’ playlist by her dad.

She got off a plane from Springsteen’s gig in Belfast on Saturday and made her way directly to the queue at the Millennium Stadium on Sunday.

Her dedication paid off when her sign “Can I dance with Miami?” was seen by Springsteen in Cardiff and she was picked out to dance on stage.

Rachel was seen dancing her socks off with Steven Van Zandt before giving Bruce a big hug.

She said: “Whatever concert I go to next, it will never live up to that.”

On June 28, 2009, legendary singer Tom Jones took the stage at the Glastonbury Festival in the UK, delivering a performance that left the audience in awe. Known for his powerful voice and charismatic stage presence, Jones captivated the massive crowd with a setlist that blended his classic hits with contemporary favorites.

As the sun set over the iconic festival grounds, Jones opened his performance with a rousing rendition of “It’s Not Unusual,” instantly energizing the audience. The crowd sang along, and the atmosphere was electric, as festival-goers danced and cheered. Jones continued to thrill the audience with timeless hits like “Delilah” and “What’s New Pussycat?” each song showcasing his enduring vocal prowess and ability to connect with fans of all ages.

One of the highlights of the evening was Jones’s soulful performance of “Green, Green Grass of Home,” a poignant moment that resonated deeply with the crowd. The legendary singer also surprised fans by including a few covers of contemporary songs, demonstrating his versatility and willingness to embrace new musical styles.

Jones’s performance at Glastonbury 2009 was not just a celebration of his illustrious career but also a testament to his status as a musical icon. His ability to engage and entertain a diverse audience underscored his enduring appeal and cemented his place in the hearts of music lovers worldwide.

The night concluded with a standing ovation, leaving no doubt that Tom Jones’s Glastonbury set would be remembered as one of the festival’s standout moments.

The faces of the judges on Britain’s Got Talent, when Susan Boyle stepped out onto the stage, will forever be in my memory. They looked at her with ridicule until she opened her mouth, and out came an amazingly beautiful voice.

Now Susan delivers another stunning performance, but this time she has a unique singing partner. This magical video brings two brilliant female voices together in one incredible duet.

Susan Boyle has an excellent voice capable of reaching exquisite high notes with perfection. When she’s paired with Barbra Streisand’s velvety smooth execution, the two of them are untouchable and incomparable.

As the song ends the morphing from one talented singer to the other speeds up and it seems as if the two must be on one stage together. The background soundtrack of the big band has been handled flawlessly.

Susan has come a long way, yet she’s still the same and that’s why we love her. She is stunning, gifted, special and I congratulate her from the heart.

Some users have recently noticed that the Disney+ app has disappeared from the Tesla Theater entertainment system in Tesla vehicles. This comes amid tensions between Elon Musk and Disney CEO Bob Iger.

Previously, Musk shared anti-Semitic content on social network X, leading to a strong wave of protests from the community and many major partners, including Disney. Disney then decided to temporarily suspend advertising activities on X. Although Elon Musk later apologized, the relationship with Disney was still affected.

In a recent interview, Elon Musk publicly criticized Disney, accusing the company of being affected by a “woke mind virus” and even directed vulgar remarks at Iger.

Most recently, according to Electrek, a Tesla announced the removal of the Disney+ entertainment app from the Tesla Theater but did not specify the specific reason.

Initially, it was reported that the app would be removed completely from all Tesla vehicles.

However, Tesla later adjusted the policy and only removed Disney+ from vehicles that had never used the app before. Now, some Tesla owners say they no longer see the Disney+ app in their system, while others, who may have used the app, still see Disney+ available.

The removal of Disney+ could be a symbolic move by Musk in response to Disney, but it’s also possible that Tesla is rethinking its strategy for partnering with streaming entertainment services and will make an official announcement in the near future.

Michael J. Fox, a Parkinson’s disease warrior for three decades, shared a poignant update on his health. Despite the challenges, Fox, a prominent advocate, remains resolute in his fight against the condition.

In a recent interview, he acknowledged the increasing difficulty of living with Parkinson’s, stating, “It’s getting tougher.” Fox also revealed a recent spinal surgery due to a benign tumor affecting his mobility, resulting in several fractures. He clarified, “You don’t die from Parkinson’s. You die with Parkinson’s.” He firmly declared, “I’m not gonna be 80.”

Fox’s battle with Parkinson’s takes center stage in his upcoming documentary, “Still,” where he describes the intense pain and tremors he endures. Despite the hardships, Fox remains optimistic, affirming that he’s not “going anywhere.”

At 77, Dolly Parton remains a beloved icon in both country music and the entertainment world. Her career, which spans decades, has kept her at the top of the industry for as long as many can remember. Despite her fame, even Dolly faces criticism.

Recently, some critics have targeted her appearance. This comes as she nears her eighties, yet the scrutiny over her looks hasn’t slowed down. The legendary singer, however, continues to focus on her music and legacy rather than dwelling on the negativity.

“She’s been a fixture at the top of the entertainment industry since almost any of us can remember,” reflecting her longevity and impact. Dolly’s ability to adapt and evolve in an ever-changing industry is what has kept her relevant throughout her career.

Despite the occasional criticism, Dolly Parton’s talents have undeniably transcended time and trends, earning her a secure place in music history.

The moment was the first time he would tour without any of his three brothers, whom he had been performing with since the inception of the Bee Gees in 1958.

The beautiful moment happened at the famed Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, on June 4, 2014, when Barry sang the 1968 hit with son Stephen Gibb, a musician and member of the Gibb Collective – a band consisting the sons and daughters of the Gibb brothers.

The Mythology Tour, designed as a celebration of his brothers Robin and Maurice, kicked off in Sydney in October 2012 and saw Barry Gibb accompanied by not only his son Stephen, but also Maurice’s daughter Samantha, who also regularly joined Barry for duets on stage.

The song ‘I’ve Gotta Get a Message To You’, was a 1968 hit for the Bee Gees and became their second number-one record in the UK Singles Chart.

The song, written by Robin Gibb, tells the story of a man, sentenced to die, who is begging the prison chaplain to pass on a final message to his wife.

“This is about a prisoner on Death Row who only has a few hours to live,” Robin told The Mail On Sunday in 2009.

“He wants the prison chaplain to pass on a final message to his wife. There’s a certain urgency about it. Myself and Barry wrote it. It’s a bit like writing a script,” he said.

“Sometimes you can sit there for three hours with your guitar and nothing will happen. Then in the last ten minutes something will spark.”

Robin went on to explain the Bee Gees songwriting process, and revealed how they tried to enter the mind of the character to bring life experience to the song.

The 74-year-old model, mother of billionaire Elon Musk, Maye Musk, shared that more than 35 years ago, when her son was only 14 years old. Elon Musk recommended that she invest $1,000 in stocks and buy shares of a company he “really believes in,” despite the stockbroker saying the investment was a “bad idea.” .

Maye Musk once invested $1,000 in stocks following Elon Musk’s advice.

Maye Musk — Elon Musk’s mother said she received investment advice from her son when the Te-la CLC was only 14 years old.

The 14 year old model shared that more than 35 years ayo, Elon Musk recomended that she buy stuck in a company he “really believed in despite the stockoroker saying the investiment was a bad idea”.

The above story was shared by Maye Musk cn Twitter on May 1 after the world’s richest billionaire gave some advice on choosiny stocks. The 50-year old pillionaire uryed his witter tolluwers to buy stocks of companies that produce products they ‘trust” and not to panic” by the market reaction

Giving an example of Elon Musk’s investment philosophy, Mirs. Maye said that in the 1980s she invested about $1,000 in stocks that her son recommended. It was the largest amount of money she had ever ventured into this field.

Elon Musk’s faith in the company quickly paid oft and the value of Maye’s investment tripled. When the stock price increased Maye “panicked” and decided to sell all his shares. “I wasn’t happy about it.

Ever since she entered our lives on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, the 63-year-old singing phenom has habitually taken iconic songs and brought them to new heights with her voice alone. Today, we’ve tracked down a robust cover of “Auld Lang Syne” that can move anyone to tears.

There’s something about Boyle’s performance that makes us want to put our party hats on, pour some champagne, and celebrate — it’s that good. Boyle’s Scottish roots shine through in her vocals and elevate the song, giving the track an even more uplifting feel. We thought her cover of “Silent Night” would be our favorite Boyle performance, but her version of “Auld Lang Syne” takes the cake!

“Auld Lang Syne” has become synonymous with New Year’s Eve celebrations

With roots in Scottish culture, the song has been adapted countless times over the generations. The song’s text is from a 1788 poem written by Robert Burns, and the lyrics are reflective over times gone by — in fact, “auld lang syne” is loosely translated to “for the sake of old times.”

In traditional Scottish culture, the song is used to bring a sense of finality to formal events, and the Western world has since adopted it as the unofficial song of annual New Year’s Eve celebrations. In fact, most Americans will immediately recognize the song as the one that plays immediately after the ball drops in Times Square to ring in the new year!

Although it’s become synonymous with New Year’s Eve, Boyle’s breathtaking cover gives the song a transcendent quality beyond simply marking the end of a calendar year. Ultimately, it’s yet another song the America’s Got Talent icon can add to her list of genuinely memorable covers.

Olivia Newton-John and Andy Gibb were icons of the late ’70s music scene and it was natural that the two superstars would collaborate on a duet.

Taking to the stage on January 9, 1979 the pair sat opposite one other on high chairs and gave a stunningly heartfelt performance of the delicate Bee Gees song ‘Rest Your Love On Me’.

While rumours of whether the two dated have never been confirmed, the energy between the two is palpable and lead to them recording a single for Andy’s new album just a few months later.

Olivia and the youngest Gibb brother were performing at The Music for UNICEF Concert: A Gift of Song, a gig held to raise money for world hunger programs and to mark the beginning of 1979’s International Year of the Child.

The concert was the brainchild of the Bee Gees and David Frost and was held at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City which saw performers including the Bee Gees, Rod Stewart, ABBA, Donna Summer and Earth, Wind and Fire donate royalties of the song they performed to UNICEF.

The biggest pop and disco stars of the time were roped in by the Gibb brothers for the one-off gig and saw each act sing one of their own hit songs, alongside special appearances from Henry Fonda, David Frost and Henry ‘The Fonz’ Winkler.

The incredible show culminated in a beautiful medley of Jackie DeShannon’s ‘Put A Little Bit Of Love In Your Heart’ by all the acts and was recorded and televised the following day on NBC and across the world.
