Bruce Springsteen has played to millions of people, selling out stadiums around the world and releasing numerous hugely popular albums.

Wednesday evening, two days before Donald Trump’s controversial inauguration, The Boss decided to perform a more low-key concert, secretly playing for outgoing President Obama and his staff at the White House.

According to Backstreets, who document every Springsteen gig, 250 staffers attended the concert in the White House's East Room - the same location the singer was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in November.

Springsteen reportedly played a 15 song acoustic set, leaning heavily on politically focussed songs from his long spanning career.

For “Tougher Than the Rest” and “If I Should Fall Behind,” Springsteen was joined by wife Patti Scialfa, while Barack and Michelle Obama concluded proceedings by joining the duo on stage.
