I HUNG MY HEAD

The 37th annual Kennedy Center Honors. Springsteen attends to assist the induction of Sting, returning the favor from five years ago. Bruce performs "I Hung My Head", as he did for Sting's 60th birthday celebration in 2011. Bruce is also onstage to clap along to the end of Bruno Mars's performance of "Message In A Bottle". Curtis King, Cindy Mizelle, Clark Gayton, and Shane Fontayne are all part of the evening's house band. This year's honorees also include Tom Hanks and Al Green.
