She couldn’t compete in the Olympics, but equestrian jumper Jessica Springsteen did the next best thing on Saturday.
Or maybe the first best thing: She attended the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concert her dad was performing at Wembley Stadium in London. There, Jessica saw a surprise guest − mom Patti Scialfa, who sang the duet “Tougher Than the Rest” with her father in front of 80,000 people in the audience.
Jessica posted a snippet of the performance on her Instagram story with a heart emoji. She also posted a shot of Bruce center stage performing the classic “Thunder Road” at the June 27 show.
Jessica, a 32-year old Colts Neck native, did not qualify for the U.S. Equestrian Jumping Team competing in the 2024 Olympic Games, currently underway in Paris. She won a silver medal in Team Jumping at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, which were held in 2021 due to the pandemic.
Mom Patti is an E Street Band member who’s been largely absent from the current tour. Her last appearance with the band were the April 4 and 7 shows at the Forum in Los Angeles.

"'Tougher' was really moving," commented a fan on social media. "Patti was visibly emotional."
The Wembley show on Saturday was the second of two nights at the venue, following the Thursday, July 25 concert. The E Street Band will take a several-week hiatus and resume touring Aug. 15 at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh.
“What a way to finish off the European portion of the 2024 tour! London was absolutely shaking last night, and quite the show we put on! Wembley, what a memorable experience,” band member Anthony Almonte wrote on Instagram on Sunday. “All of the shows in Europe have truly been special, what a summer it has been!!”
