MUSIC legend Bruce Springsteen looked “furious” as he refused to sign autographs for fans waiting in the rain in Manchester.
The Dancing In the Dark hitmaker, 75, arrived back at his hotel with his security who shielded him from the rain with an umbrella.

As he walked towards the entrance, fans were seen begging the star for an autograph, with one saying: “Bruce, just one please.”
But Bruce refused to play ball and told them: “You guys chased me all around town… I’m signing nothing.”
He then proceeded to head into the building, as one fan replied: “We didn’t, we’ve been waiting here for you.”
After seeing the clip, one fan wrote: “What a great guy. “Hey I’m a billionaire, thanks to my fans now get out of my way.”
Someone else said: “Nobody wants your signature anyway, Bruce.”
But despite the clip going making its way onto social media, some fans are convinced that this is not the whole story.
One person took to the comment section and wrote: “I feel like it takes a lot to aggravate Bruce. Hope they got the hint.”
A second posted: “Well said Bruce. I’ve never been fortunate enough to meet him but he comes across as such a kindhearted man who loves his fans and so generous.”
Another added: “I am sure they are not fans, because fans would not do this, because they understand . Fans just waited in front of his hotel, not following Bruce anywhere. Moreover, it is raining in this video, so Bruce has a reason to refuse.”
While this person claimed: “These are almost certainly professional autograph hunters who immediately resell.”
The Sun has reached out to Bruce’s rep for comment.
Bruce and The E Street Band were in Manchester as part of their 2025 Land of Hope and Dreams tour.
They played three-night residency at Co-op Live in Manchester, with dates on May 14, 17, and 20.
They then visited Liverpool at Anfield on June 4 and 7, marking the only other UK dates on the tour.
Last month Bruce surprised fans at a Huddersfield restaurant with actor Stephen Graham.
Stephen plays his father in a new biopic, Deliver Me From Nowhere – which is out in October.
Oliver Roberts, who runs Norman’s, thought their visit was a “prank” at first.
He said Bruce and Stephen, 51, shared ten small plates including tomatoes with garlic ice cream.
Last year, The Sun reported that fans trying to buy £150 Bruce Springsteen tickets early were shocked at having to pay for at least two, plus a hotel room — costing up to £800.
Packages on Ticketmaster, part of Live Nation, included £796 for two front standing tickets and a double room at the four-star Novotel in Liverpool ahead of next June’s gig at Anfield.
Two rear standing tickets in last Thursday’s pre-sale were £754 with a room at the Hilton.
Two plus a night at the Ibis were £732. A pair and a room at the three-star Holiday Inn cost £698.
Ticketmaster was criticised over its “dynamic pricing” for Oasis shows when £135 tickets suddenly shot up to £355.
But a fan of The Boss tweeted: “This tie-in with hotel packages is taking it to another level.”
