Refugee 7 Report post Posted August 27, 2008 Colorado's Rocky Mountain News, which reported earlier this week that Bruce Springsteen would perform at Barack Obama's Thursday (8/28) acceptance speech at Denver's Invesco Field, is backing off those reports. "Although highly placed city and DNC-linked sources told the [newspaper] that the appearance was set, in-the-know sources high in the Springsteen camp said unequivocally Monday (8/25) that the singer is not scheduled to perform or attend the acceptance speech," the Rocky Mountain News reported. Organizers reportedly approached Springsteen and "many other artists" regarding possible roles at this week's Democratic National Convention, but Springsteen--who expressed his support for Obama's presidential bid earlier this year--never was scheduled to appear. Nonetheless, the Rocky Mountain News also reports that an acoustic Bon Jovi set prior to Obama's speech "is still in the works." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
