Sister of man who died on day he booked Bruce Springsteen tickets for this weekend appeals for The Boss to dedicate Glory Days in his memory

The sister of a dedicated Bruce Springsteen fan who tragically died before he got a chance to attend this weekend's Croke Park gig is appealing for The Boss to dedicate a song to her brother.

44 - year-old Noel Kenny died in February , on the same day that he booked  tickets to see the Boss perform in Dublin.

His heartbroken sister, Terri Kenny Murphy posted an emotional appeal on Facebook last night asking Bruce to play Noel's favourite song 'Glory Days' in his memory.

Noel's family have also launched a campaign to get the hashtag #GloryDaysForNoel trending in a bid to get the message to Bruce himself.

Noel, from Portarlington in Co Laois, was sadly diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2011  but that didn't stop him travelling to Limerick to see his eighth Springsteen gig in Thomand Park.

Terri said: "Noel went to see him in Limerick and he wasn’t able to walk very far so we went to the wheelchair accessible area.He was very subdued before the concert, very quiet in himself.But as soon as Bruce Springsteen came out on stage he jumped out of the wheelchair - he was like a tonic to Noel."

Tragically, no sooner had Terri booked tickets for this Friday’s Croke Park gig when Noel took seriously ill.

He died on February 28 from complications due to his Parkinson’s. She is appealing for Bruce Springsteen to sing Glory Days, her brother's favourite.
