Bruce Springsteen is making a much-anticipated return to Toronto on September 30 to perform at the Invictus Games Toronto 2017 Closing Ceremony, presented by Jaguar Land Rover and the Government of Canada.
Springsteen’s performance will honour the achievements of the 550-plus wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans from 17 nations during the third edition of the Invictus Games. Tickets for the Closing Ceremony start at $60 and are available through the Invictus Games Toronto 2017 website.
“At the Invictus Games, it’s not just about the hurdles that competitors experienced during competition, but about overcoming the obstacles that life has presented them,” said Springsteen. “The Games are a remarkable opportunity for brothers and sisters in arms to join forces and demonstrate the true strength of their spirit. It is an absolute honour and privilege to perform for them at the Closing Ceremony as a send-off to a week of competition in Toronto.

"All I kept thinking was, 'Just keep moving,' " McMurtry tells People. "I couldn’t quit." Starting May 7, the Toronto native set out to complete 500 Miles for Parkinson's, a daunting, 45-day walk from New York City, where he lives with his wife of three years, Deborah Bradley, to his hometown in Canada to raise money and awareness for Parkinson's disease.
