During Springsteen’s concert at the Chase Center in San Francisco on Sunday (March 31), the musician’s attention was brought to a young fan in the front row. The kid was carrying a handwritten sign that read “Skipping school, sign my note?”.
The absentee note would allow for the young fan to skip school on Monday (April 1) after attending Springsteen’s concert. Springsteen would go on to sign the note, as captured by another fan in attendance. It is currently unclear if the young fan’s signed absentee note was accepted by their school.
