Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt made a surprise appearance in Norway on Sunday at a memorial concert to mark the one-year anniversary of the tragic terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of 77 people. Far-Right extremist Anders Behring Breivik confessed to the massacre that killed 69 people at a youth camp on Utoya Island in addition to eight people at a government building in Oslo. He will be sentenced next month.
The two musicians provided a moving close the memorial, performing the famous protest anthem “We Shall Overcome”. “Steve and I are honored to be included here tonight,” said The Boss. “For all of us who love democracy and tolerance, it’s an international tragedy.”
