Bruce Springsteen, who gained critical acclaim with his hit album Born in the USA, addressed his fans on Thursday as an 'embarrassed' American.

The heartland rock hitmaker got up on stage at his Melbourne concert and said: 'We stand before you embarrassed Americans tonight,' before singing a song mocking the phone call between President Trump and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

'This is a song from 1965 by The Orlons, we’re gonna use this to send a letter back home,' Springsteen said before signing the song Don't Hang Up.

'We come from a land of immigrants!', he hollered through his microphone.

'Tonight we want to add our voices to the thousands of Americans who are protesting at airports around our country the Muslim Ban and the detention of foreign nationals and refugees,' Springsteen said.

'America is a nation of immigrants, and we find this anti-democratic and fundamentally un-American.'

The leader of the E Street Band has been outspoken on Trump before, and has voiced his 'fear' of the presidency during an interview with Marc Maron's WTF podcast last month.

E Street guitarist Steven Van Zandt apologized to Australia in a tweet.

'Australia is, was, and always will be one of the USA's best friends and closest allies. Apologies for today's temporary embarrassment,' he said.

Donald Trump reportedly had an awkward exchange with the Prime Minster Malcolm Turnbull on Saturday in which the president apparently hung up on the Australian leader.

President Trump said it was 'the worst call by far' he had taken that day and sources said he shouted at Turnbull when discussing the Australia-US refugee deal.
