“He’s known as the American working man but he’s never worked a day in his life.” Paul McCartney delivers an amusing, warm-hearted tribute to Bruce Springsteen at Ivor Novello Awards

McCartney and Springsteen.

Bruce Springsteen was inducted into the Fellowship of the Ivors Academy at the prestigious Ivor Novello Awards in London last night, May 23, and received a warm-hearted, tongue-in-cheek, tribute from his good friend Paul McCartney ahead of receiving the award.

Springsteen became the first ever international songwriter that the Academy has inducted into Fellowship in its 80-year history, recognising his outstanding contribution to the craft of songwriting and impact on the UK’s cultural landscape.
