Bruce Springsteen Receives An Interesting Gift While On Stage!

Rock legend Bruce Springsteen was gifted a fascinating surprise during a recent performance.

Springsteen, 73, still regularly performs hours-long concerts, but a 22-year-old university student may have been the highlight for several attendees at the "Backstreets" rocker's recent show in Edinburgh, Scotland!

University students aren't the only ones who feel 'The Boss' influence. Springsteen's gift comes a few months after Coldplay frontman Chris Martin shared how he's been influenced by Springsteen's legacy.

Read on to find out the deets about Springsteen's exciting gift!

The Blast shared how Martin had been influenced by Springsteen back in March.

Martin stopped by Conan O'Brien's podcast and told listeners he only eats one meal daily. He also reportedly no longer eats dinner.

Springsteen has something to do with Martin's newfound diet plan; the duo had dined together, and Martin wanted to obtain a similar physique to Springsteen's! The team had performed together last June in Philadelphia.

During the duo's meal together, Springsteen allegedly revealed a tip for obtaining a physique similar to his. He reportedly shared advice not to eat after 4 PM, which Martin now follows, and also told O'Brien in his interview. (per Daily Mail)

"I was on a rigorous diet anyway," Martin went on. "But I was like, 'Bruce looks even more in shape than me.''

Martin also shared with O'Brien how Springsteen's wife, Patti Scialfa, confirmed her husband's eating regimen.

"And Patti said he's only eating one meal a day. I was like, 'Well, there we go. That's my next challenge," he remarked.

Springsteen was recently allowed food for thought after an audience member slipped him a gift while in mid-concert.

Student Nathan Collet made sure he made an impression on The Boss; according to Daily Record, Collet held up a sign asking Springsteen if he could give the "Born To Run" singer a copy of his thesis!

Collet's thesis is "Brilliant Disguises: An Analysis of Masculinity Through the Works and Life of Bruce Springsteen." The title references Springsteen's "Brilliant Disguise" from the 1987 LP "Tunnel Of Love."

Collet spoke to the publication and revealed details about his quest.

"I've been a fan of Springsteen since I was 10," he said. "When he announced the tour, I gave him a copy of my dissertation myself." The outlet also reported that Collet traveled 186 miles from his home in England to attend the Murrayfield, Scotland concert.

"Later, he was going past again, and I held up my dissertation, and he took it," Collet continued. "He looked at it on stage and said it was very nice before putting it near the drum kit."

"I was on cloud nine for the rest of the show, and the concert was phenomenal," he said. "Nobody puts on a show like Springsteen."

Springsteen was reportedly joined on stage by Jake Clemons, the saxophonist son of the late E Steet Band member Clarence Clemons, who passed away in 2011.
