My final wish has happened.” Sharing a snap from their meeting, Charlie wrote: “What a magical moment for me and my beautiful wife Claire. Bruce was so kind and a fantastic human. I played my voice app and I really believe we connected. I told Bruce Land of Hope and dreams was on my bucket list, and he said he would play it for me. And God he did. I love him”Last month Charlie revealed meeting The Boss was the last thing left on his bucket list.
“I want ‘Land of Hope and Dreams to be played at my funeral. This is mad, but I go to sleep nearly every night playing this song, along with ‘The Parting Glass.”
