Really sad to hear that it is rumoured that Clarence Clemons has suffered a stroke - see http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/jun/13/clarence-clemons-springsteen-saxophonist-stroke I am sure that we all wish the E Street Band saxophonist a speedy recovery

    This is kind of cool, lots of get-well videos for Clarence Clemmons on youtube.

    Alas, he did not recover.

    Yes, Katrina, I agree. For people of my age, growing up and growing older with rock music, in many respects the E Street Band were part of the final flurries of the peak of rock music, and Clarence Clemons was a big part of the band in so many ways. The Big Man was described as 'probably the best rock saxophonist there has been' on one news programme yesterday, and I totally agree with that. The E Street Band won't be the same again, already missing Danny Fedicci and now the Big Man. RIP

    Recommend these MP3s of Little Steven's Underground Garage show Tribute to Clarence. Mostly music (E Street & Clarence's other projects) plus some talking by Stevie. I got a bit weepy on my morning train commute listening ...
