The rock legend has had a hugely successful career. He has released 21 studio albums in this time and earned many awards in the process including 20 Grammy Awards and 140 million records sold worldwide.
The excitement for the two Anfield gigs is well underway, fans have been queueing outside the stadium for days in the hope of ensuring they get the best spot possible to see the Boss do what he does best.
Bruce will play to a crowd of thousands in Liverpool and many people will be coming from far and wide to watch the concert. The changeable weather comes after an unprecedented season of warmth and sunshine across the UK, according to provisional Met Office statistics.
All four nations of the UK recorded their warmest spring for mean temperature since records began in 1884, surpassing the previous record from 2024. This season also outshone the rest, claiming the title of sunniest spring on record for the UK, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, with England recording its second sunniest spring since sunshine records began in 1910.
It means this year's spring was the fourth sunniest season overall for the UK, with only three summers sunnier since 1910. This spring's mean temperature of 9.5C surpassed the long-term climatological average by 1.4C, making it the warmest spring since the series began in 1884.

Eight of the 10 warmest UK springs have occurred since the year 2000, and the three warmest springs have all occurred since 2017, a sign of our changing climate. All four nations also recorded their highest spring mean temperature, with Northern Ireland and Scotland recording notably high temperatures, up 1.6C on average.
For Northern Ireland, this meant surpassing the previous long-standing warmest average spring temperature, set back in 1893. Daytime temperatures were also particularly remarkable.
The UK surpassed its previous maximum daytime temperature record by a substantial margin, recording 14.6C this year compared to the previous record of 14C set in 1893. Now that this has been surpassed, there is only one temperature record for the UK for minimum, mean or maximum temperatures that was set in the 19th Century - the joint-highest maximum temperature for September at 19.4C, which was recorded in both 1895 and 2023.

There was also 653.3 hours of sunshine – 43% above average – meaning spring 2025 outshone all previous springs since the series in 1910, the Met Office said.
This exceptional season exceeded the previous record (from 2020) by over 27 hours. This has been the fourth sunniest overall season for the UK (and the sunniest since 1995), and the sunniest overall season for Northern Ireland.
Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales all recorded their sunniest springs on record before the month was out, beating their 2020 records. England recorded its second sunniest spring on record, with only 2020 sunnier. Now, seven of the UK's ten sunniest springs having occurred since 2000.
