Bruce Springsteen and Shane McGowan shared a "beautiful moment" as the two musical legends came together ahead of Springsteen's three nights playing in the RDS arena.
The Pogues lead singer welcomed the 73-year-old American icon into his home this Wednesday, in what McGowan's wife Victoria Mary labelled as an "amazing honour" and a "beautiful experience."
Springsteen, with a highly decorated career spanning six decades, is set to play the RDS arena in Dublin this Friday, Sunday and Monday nights, seven years on from his last performance in the capital.
