'My son singing with Springsteen was better than my wedding day'

When Haydn Craven was nine, he was pulled out of the crowd to sing on stage with Bruce Springsteen in front of 40,000 people.

It is a day Haydn, now 18, will remember forever, but it is also a special day for his mum, Sally, who threw him on stage.

She said: "I describe it as the happiest day of my life and I apologise to my husband. Wedding day? No, Bruce Springsteen."
