WATCH: Bruce Springsteen's surprise performance at New York benefit

Watch the performance in support of a charity for sarcoma here.

Bruce Springsteen made his first appearance on the stage for 2019 with photographer Danny Clinch and his Tangiers Blues Band, at New York’s Tribeca Grill last week at a benefit supporting the Kristen Ann Carr Fund. You can watch the performance above.

The event — “A Night to Remember” — raises money and awareness in the charity’s fight against sarcoma, a form of cancer. Carr, the daughter of rock journalist and Sirius XM E Street Radio host Dave Marsh and Springsteen co-manager Barbara Carr, died of the disease in 1993 at the age of 21.

A silent auction was also held at the event, featuring items including an autographed print of a picture of Springsteen on the beach — featured on the cover of Variety in October 2017 — a full set of Bobblehead dolls carefully crafted to resemble the E Street Band (which auctioned off for $10,500), and a guitar autographed by Pearl Jam.

Springsteen and the E Street Band are taking a hiatus from touring, as he already indicated the band won’t be on the road in 2019. The 69-year old has indicated interest in performing his solo show, 'Springsteen on Broadway' in other markets.

"There’s other projects to take up my time. I am looking forward to doing some other things and at some point I will probably get back to [‘Springsteen on Broadway’], or something like it in the future, because it was such an enjoyable format to work in," he said.
