A partial statement that was just posted on Bruce Springsteen's website:

"It is with overwhelming sadness that we inform our friends and fans that at 7:00 tonight, Saturday, June 18, our beloved friend and bandmate, Clarence Clemons passed away. The cause was complications from his stroke of last Sunday, June 12th."; 7:16 PM

mazemerizing said...: About six years ago, in L.A., we had great seats to the left of the stage near where the Big Man stands. During one song, we were all standing, my sister and people around me were clapping, dancing, singing along. I was standing, and doing my usual thing - not clapping or singing, just joyously listening. Out of all the people in my section, Big Man saw me, pointed at me and starting clapping, urging me to do so as well. Of course I did. Who could refuse the awesome Clarence "Big Man" Clemons?; 8:48 AM

Susan said...: So glad I heard him perform with Bruce on many occasions.; 7:27 PM
Sherry said...: Hearing his passing made me sad. He was such an integral part of E Street. When I heard all I could think about was the line in 10th Avenue Freezeout..(Am I wrong on the name? Apologies for my stupidity.) But who can forget when Bruce sings: "..and the Big Man joined the band" and his sax immediately thereafter..iconic.; 9:37 PM
thisoldbroad said...: Such a great musician. Don't remember hearing or seeing anything bad about him in the gossip rags. He'll always be my favorite sax player. So sad.; 11:52 PM
