BREAKING NEWS!! Clarence Clemons DIes After Complications From Stroke
Some sad news coming into the music world this evening. Word just got out that Clarence Clemons, saxophonist of Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, died earlier today after complications of a stroke he suffered this past week, he was 69 years old. Clarence had been a member of The E Street Band since 1972, collaborating with Bruce Springsteen on a number of albums including the landmark 1984 release, "Born In The U.S.A." and released several solo albums as well. He was featured on "You're A Friend of Mine", a duet with Jackson Browne and was featured on Aretha Franklin's "Freeway of Love". More recently, he was a featured musician on Lady Gaga's latest album "Born This Way". He was expected to reunite with his bandmates in the E Street Band for a new concert tour, but his recent health crisis had ultimately detoured those plans. He was a brilliant musician and will be sorely missed by everyone he worked with.
