Bruce Springsteen paid an emotional tribute to the late broadcast journalist Tim Russert during a concert in Wales at the weekend.
Russert, who presented America's acclaimed show Meet The Press, died last Friday after suffering a heart attack.
Appearing via video link at Russert's memorial service, Springsteen recalled seeing Russert's “big Irish smile” during a performance on America's Today Show.
“It was beaming like an Irish sun. We were always flattered and honoured to have Tim as part of our E Street Band community,” Springsteen said.
Springsteen then played 'Thunder Road', Russert's favourite song, in memory of the broadcaster.
