Public Enemy’s resident hype man Flavor Flav recently surprised fans with his enthusiastic admiration for rock legend Bruce Springsteen. Flav, documented his experience at a Springsteen concert in Las Vegas, showcasing his enjoyment of the music and his genuine respect for The Boss.

Taking to social media, Flav shared a series of videos chronicling his evening. The clips depicted him letting loose and dancing in the crowd during the concert.

The night didn’t end there. Backstage after the show, Flav met Springsteen for a more personal interaction. Videos surfaced online showcasing Flav’s heartfelt greeting. He bowed repeatedly while expressing his admiration: “What’s up, Bruce? This is such an honour, man! This is such an honour, bro! Man, man, man, many, many, many good blessings to you, bro.”

This camaraderie might seem unexpected at first glance. However, a deeper connection exists between the two artists. Tom Morello, a guitarist who occasionally performs with Springsteen’s E Street Band, is also a member of the supergroup Prophets of Rage alongside Public Enemy’s Chuck D. This shared musical link adds another layer to the story.

The concert itself was a celebration of Springsteen’s vast repertoire. Fans were treated to a setlist packed with hits, including ‘Lonesome Day’, ‘Hungry Heart’, ‘Wrecking Ball’, ‘Dancing in the Dark’, and the iconic ‘Born to Run’.

Following his Las Vegas stop, Springsteen’s tour heads to San Francisco for two closing shows in March. The remainder of 2024 will see him continue his journey across Europe and North America.
