The Boss sends off Obama staff

-

President Obama’s farewell gift to some of his longtime staffers was a private concert from “The Boss.”

A senior White House official says Bruce Springstee­n performed a roughly two-hour acoustic concert Jan. 12 for members of Obama’s staff, mostly people who had served for all eight years of his presidency. There were no cameras present for the event.

The official wasn’t authorized to discuss a private event and spoke to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.

Obama presented Springstee­n with the Presidenti­al Medal of Freedom at the White House in November.

Springstee­n appeared on the campaign trail for Democratic presidenti­al nominee Hillary Clinton in the fall.
