The submit pitches the pretend occasion as “a soul-stirring historic revival” and “the immortal legacy of American rock.”

Mixed reactions from followers

Under the viral submit, the remark part turned a mixture of nostalgia and skepticism. Some customers have been able to consider it.

“I don’t like the word ‘Last,’” one individual admitted.

Another wrote, “One Last Ride… how painfully beautiful. Another end of another era. How many thank you’s is enough for what these musicians gave us and still give? Never enough thanks. The giving will go on to the ends of the Earth by new musicians coming up the ranks with cover songs and originals. I so wish I could ride that bus with them, talk to them, serve them. For they sure have served us.”

“This looks fake! Don’t hand over any money,” one commenter warned. “Looks like the scammers are finding more ways to steal your money. Take care out there!!”

Another referred to as it “a new AI fairy tale,” including that “AI seems to be increasingly becoming a mirror of society. Lies, fraud, confusion and greed.”

Others pointed on to the visuals. “AI-generated picture and the info as well, I’m afraid,” one individual wrote.

In actuality, Springsteen, 75, simply wrapped his Land of Hope and Dreams tour in Italy on July 3, performing alongside Scialfa and the E Street Band.
