"It's not just about the hurdles that competitors experienced during competition, but about overcoming the obstacles that life has presented them," said Springsteen in a press release, adding that it will be an "honour and a privilege" to perform.

The Invictus Games, founded by Prince Harry in 2014, kickoff on September 23. The Canadian team is composed of 90 veterans, who will compete alongside troops from 16 other countries.

The closing ceremony will be held on September 30 at the Air Canada Centre.
