Currently on tour in the United Kingdom, earlier this week he stormed the stage of the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester.
You’ve guessed it, it’s Bruce Springsteen AKA The Boss.
Spotted soaking up the sunshine on his hotel room’s balcony, a snap was shared on social media that quickly went viral.
Fans went wild over the snap, with many quick to comment on it.
“Bruce tanning and meditating that’s why he’s the Boss . You can take the boy out of the Asbury sun,” said one.
A second added: “He’s always been a sun worship guy. That’s why he’s healthy. He knows !!!!!”
While a third penned: “Nice silent Moment For him.”
And a fourth said: “5 star hotel and that’s the balcony. Nevertheless Bruce looks happy enough sunning himself.”
When he opened his European tour in Manchester earlier this week, Bruce shocked gig goers.
Opening the tour with a bombshell statement, Bruce seemingly slammed President Trump in a veiled rant.
He said: “My home, the America I love that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.”
He then asked supporters of democracy to “raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring”.
After saying this, the band then launched into hit Land of Hope and Dreams.
Later on in the show he described what he saw happening in the United States under Trump.

He said: “They are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent.”
He also accused the Trump administration of “abandoning the world’s poorest children to sickness and death”.
Bruce also said that the Trump administration is “taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers”.
He added: “They’re rolling back historic civil rights legislation that led to a more just and plural society.
“They’re abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom.
“They’re defunding American universities that won’t bow down to their ideological demands.
“They’re removing residents off American streets and, without due process of law, are deporting them to foreign detention centres and prisons.”
