Boss's gift to miners
The Gazette
|May 28, 2025
SINGER Bruce Springsteen has been hailed as a “hero” after a “life-saving” $20,000 donation to striking miners was revealed in a new documentary.
-
In the BBC show, When Bruce Springsteen Came To Britain, it is revealed the 75-year-old invited women from miners’ support groups to his show at Newcastle United's St James’ Park stadium in 1985, amid pit closures across the country.
Juliana Heron, who ran a support group of wives of miners faced with losing their jobs, joked in the feature that she was initially reluctant to attend the stadium as she supported Newcastle’s rivals Sunderland, before her friend Anne Suddick was presented with the cheque.
