WATCH: Bruce Springsteen Invites Couple On Concert Stage For Marriage Proposal

In the middle of performing his hit "Jersey Girl" at MetLife Stadium, Springsteen stopped singing and invited the couple on stage.

It couldn't have been more perfect. A lucky fan named Jill and her fiance were brought up on stage at Bruce Springsteen's concert while he played "Jersey Girl."

Springsteen spotted some excitement happening in the front row during his record four-hour concert.

"What's going on down there?" he asked, and when the woman showed him her engagement right, The Boss told the couple, "You need to come up here and do it." (Fan Ellen Houlihan filmed it on her phone, NJ.com reported, and posted a video to YouTube.)

The couple was brought up on stage, and the man told the crowd he had been dating Jill for eight years and just asked her to marry him.

"I love you more than anyone else in the world. I love you more than music itself," he told her. "I love you more than Bruce."
