Man to honour mum who died of cancer by performing as her favourite artist

A venue manager in a community arts space in Bristol is swapping his duties behind the bar for a special evening to honour his late mother. The Jam Jar in St Judes will be hosting a night of music inspired by 'The Boss' himself, Bruce Springsteen, to raise money

Kieran R. Leonard lost his mum, Bernie, to a rare form of cancer four years ago. Sadly, the diagnosis came very late into the disease and there was sadly nothing anyone could do, but Macmillan Cancer Support helped to look after his family during such a difficult time - and so Kieran is doing something to give back.

As an avid Springsteen fan, Kieran's mum would play his music every Saturday morning while cleaning the house and would watch him live every time he visited the UK. In her honour, Kieran will be donning blue jeans and a bandana in a Stars In Your Eyes style transformation next month.
