Charlie Bird reveals “one thing on my bucket list”

Charlie Bird has shared that he still has one thing left on his bucket list.

He’s had plenty of adventures in his lifetime but there is still one thing he has to do.

And that is meet The Boss.

Yes, Charlie took to Twitter to share his love of Bruce Springsteen.

Last year he shared his delight at nabbing tickets to the sold-out shows, writing: “Woke up this morning to the news my lovely son in law Rob has got tickets for Brucie. So all sorted. Thanks for all the offers, and thanks for extending the hand of kindness and friendship.”

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are set to take to Dublin’s RDS Arena next month to play three sold-out nights — May 5th, 7th and 9th.

Ahead of the concerts Charlie shared his ambition to meet the man himself.

“I still have one thing on my bucket list I would love to meet Bruce Springsteen when he is here,” he wrote.

“I want ‘Land of Hope and Dreams to be played at my funeral. This is mad, but I go to sleep nearly every night playing this song, along with ‘The Parting Glass.”

Of course, his followers were quick to share their hopes that Charlie can make his dream a reality.

“Everybody that’s sees this tweet should @springsteen maybe the more people that add his name it will be more than likely he will see the tweet. Hopefully and make Charlie’s wish come true,” one follower wrote.

“@springsteen comes across as the kindest man as well as an amazing artist and I’m sure he would be thrilled to make your bucket list dream come through @charliebird49,” another enthused.

“@springsteen I hope this dream comes true for @charliebird49,” a third commented.
